This is not peculiar to Lion: it does seem something about Apple's X11
notifier and I've seen it quite often over the years on Leopard ...

Hello,
I have just installed R 2.13.1 on a clean install of Lion on a 3 year old iMac
with a 2GHz Core 2 Duo. When I run R in the terminal and use the x11 device I
get some strange behaviors when I call the dev.off() function. If I plot
several times then usually I get the error:
Error in dev.off() : parameter "i" in "mfg" is out of range
and if I plot only once I get the warning:
Warning message:
In dev.off() : Display list redraw incomplete
In both cases, a new x11 window opens (not exactly the expected result of
dev.off). Steps to reproduce both cases are given below.
Also, it seems that the x11 device is not 3-4 times faster than the
quartz device. Has anyone else noticed this?
Why would you expect it to be? X11(type='Xlib') is, but that is no
longer the default on OS X.
Cheers,
Kjell
