Dear R-devel, I have tested the code below on R v3.3.2 and v3.3.3 on
Mac and Windows.
x <- c("2017-01-01 05:00:02", "2017-01-02 03 :M:00") # note the ‘ :M’
in 2nd value
as.POSIXct(x)
# [1] "2017-01-01 GMT" "2017-01-02 GMT”
The time info is lost on the first index as well. And it happens *silently
Hello,
Following Dirk's post here: https://github.com/Rdatatable/data.table/issues/1619

the rationale behind it.
Here's the summary (thanks to Dirk and Joshua):

Have a look at the following, taken from base::rank:
...
if (!is.na(na.last) && any(nas)) {
yy <- integer(length(x)) # <~
storage.mode(yy) <- storage.mode(y) # <
yy <- NA
NAkeep <- (na.last == "keep")
if (NAkeep || na.last) {
