Is this expected behaviour?

x <- factor(c("c", "b", "a","c"))
results <- c(c=4, b=5)
results[x]

giving

> results[x]
<NA>    b    c <NA>
 NA    5    4   NA

(i.e. it appears to give results[levels(x)]


whereas results[as.character(x)] does what I expected:

as.character(x)
results[as.character(x)]

> as.character(x)
[1] "c" "b" "a" "c"
> results[as.character(x)]
  c    b <NA>    c
  4    5   NA    4
