Been too fast : I am in Central European Time (GMT +1), which explains the time conversion. Still, I find it highly annoying that as.POSIXlt assumes that the time is given in GMT and has to be converted to whatever timezone you're in if you don't specify anything.
Probably this behaviour is not going to be changed, but it's causing very hard-to-track-down bugs nonetheless.
