This is not a bug, and has nothing to do with times. For example:
round(1.03,1)
[1] 1
Formatting is not the same as rounding. Perhaps you are assuming R
formats numbers according to the concept of significant digits, but
it doesn't. See the help page for the format function to get started
with understanding R's rules for formatting numbers when it displays
them. Maybe also some of the introductory R documents available on
CRAN.

I obtained 'time' by subtracting the results of two calls to sys.Time().
round(time,0)
Time difference of 1 mins
round(time,1)
Time difference of 1 mins
round(time,2)
Time difference of 1.03 mins
round(time,3)
Time difference of 1.032 mins
Note that the second command above should return "1.0 mins", rather than "1
min".
