Hmmm, that is quite strange to be honest. The problem is that the barabasi
graph is directed (by default) and it seems that there is a bug in
minimum.spanning.tree: if you do it on a directed graph it does not keep the
directedness of the edges. This is a serious bug, i'll correct it this
evening (perhaps night).

If you don't want the mst to consider weights just leave out that argument.
Here is the example again:

g <- simplify(barabasi.game(10, m=2, directed=FALSE))
co <- layout.fruchterman.reingold(g)
E(g)$weight <- sample(1:10, ecount(g), repl=T)
plot(g, layout=co, edge.labels=E(g)$weight)

mst <- minimum.spanning.tree(g)
E(mst)$weight <- NA
E(mst, P=t(get.edgelist(mst)))$weight <- E(g, P=t( get.edgelist(mst)))$weight
x11(); plot(mst, layout=co, edge.labels=E(mst)$weight)
