What is true is that the line is set before the inline setting of mgp is
processed: it all depends on what 'supplied' means, and you supplied two
values.
This is changed in R-patched now.

It seems that when an argument 'mgp' is supplied to axis(),
the mgp[2] value (position of tick mark labels) is honoured
but the mgp[3] value (position of axis line) is ignored.
Example:
plot(1:5, xaxt='n', ann=FALSE)
par(mgp=c(0,2,1))
axis(1, at=2:4, mgp=c(0,-2,-3))
Axis line is plotted at margin line 1, tick mark labels at line -3.
Is this a bug?
