Scientific notation removed by labeller with ggplot2

I want to change the labels using label_parsed in facet_grid but it is removing the scientific notation.

Here is a simple reproducible example:

library(ggplot2)
mtcars$cyl2 <- factor(mtcars$cyl, 
    labels = c('atop(atop(a),1.123e-2)','atop(atop(b),1e-3)','atop(atop(c),2.91e-4)'))
ggplot(mtcars, aes(wt, mpg)) + geom_point() + facet_grid(. ~ cyl2, labeller=label_parsed)

plot

Although options("scipen"=-999, "digits"=4) keeps the scientific notation for this example, it does not work in a more complex plot.

Do you just want this (using character instead of numeric arguments in the plotmath expressions:

mtcars$cyl2 <- factor(mtcars$cyl, 
    labels = c('atop(atop(a),"1.123e-2")','atop(atop(b),"1e-3")',
                'atop(atop(c),"2.91e-4")'))
