R help - May 2011 - lubridate, as.POSIXct and a vector of times: bug or feature??

It took me some time to realize this annoying behavior was coming from
lubridate.
Perhaps this behavior is unexpected a result of cursory knowledge of it....

## The expected behavior
> sometimes=c(0,1,2,3)*60*60*24
> as.POSIXct( sometimes, origin='1970-01-01', tz='GMT')
[1] "1970-01-01 GMT" "1970-01-02 GMT" "1970-01-03
GMT" "1970-01-04 GMT"
> require(lubridate)
Loading required package: lubridate
Overriding + and - methods for POSIXt, Date and difftime

## no respect for the tz argument when somtimes is a
vector
> as.POSIXct( sometimes, origin=origin, tz='GMT')
[1] "1969-12-31 17:00:00 MST" "1970-01-01 17:00:00 MST"
[3] "1970-01-02 17:00:00 MST" "1970-01-03 17:00:00 MST"

## it is not just a result of lubridate's origin
>as.POSIXct( sometimes, origin='1970-01-01', tz='GMT')
[1] "1969-12-31 17:00:00 MST" "1970-01-01 17:00:00 MST"
[3] "1970-01-02 17:00:00 MST" "1970-01-03 17:00:00 MST"
