Sorry, I cannot reproduce the bug with a small data set. I encountered it with a real dataset though:

system("curl http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1047321/R/join_bug.RData > join_bug.RData")
load("join_bug.RData")
library("plyr")
d <- join(tbd, sbd, type="full")
# works
d <- join(sbd, tbd, type="full")
# doesn't work

while, since the join type is "full" it should be symmetrical.
