[R] testing xts values in if command?

Dear all ,

xts objects give error in if command :
Error in if .... :
  missing value where TRUE/FALSE needed
> library(quantmod)
> getSymbols("SPY")
>   SPY["2007-01-03"]$SPY.Adjusted >
SPY["2007-01-04"]$SPY.Adjusted     [,1]

If I use as.numeric function it works :
> SPY["2007-01-03"]$SPY.Adjusted >
as.numeric(SPY["2007-01-04"]$SPY.Adjusted)           SPY.Adjusted
2007-01-03        FALSE
> as.numeric(SPY["2007-01-03"]$SPY.Adjusted) >
as.numeric(SPY["2007-01-04"]$SPY.Adjusted)[1] FALSE


Is this the expected behavior ?
