Here's one possible fix (may not be very efficient).

Change lines 82-83 in $R_HOME/src/base/R/plot.lm.R to the following:

        if (id.n > 0) {
            qqx <- rep(NA, n)
            qqy <- rep(NA, n)
            qqx[!is.na(rs)] <- qq$x
            qqy[!is.na(rs)] <- qq$y
            text.id(qqx[show.rs], qqy[show.rs], show.rs, adj.x = TRUE)
        }
