Yes. There are ways around it though, and for multiway tables you'll
need them anyway:

> x<-rpois(20,10)
> x
 [1] 10 13  9  9 12  9 15 12 11  7 10 13 10  8  8 12  7 11  5  6
> table(x)
x
 5  6  7  8  9 10 11 12 13 15 
 1  1  2  2  3  3  2  3  2  1 

> tabulate(x)
 [1] 0 0 0 0 1 1 2 2 3 3 2 3 2 0 1
> table(factor(x,levels=0:max(x)))

 0  1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9 10 11 12 13 14 15 
 0  0  0  0  0  1  1  2  2  3  3  2  3  2  0  1
