Just to add to the confusion, on my system I get NA --- which I
understand to be
the correct value --- from all of min(NA,"bla"), min("bla",NA),
min(c(NA,"bla")), and
min(c("bla",NA)). When I append the argument na.rm=TRUE to each of the
calls,
I get "bla" from each.
So, no bug in my system.

This should be all fixed now (at least for min and max; it's possible
some of the other summary functions still have oddities). It's in
R-devel, soon r-patched. All of the above examples should now give a
character NA.
