Confirmed (Linux, I think all version >= 3.4.0, but not in R
3.3.3 (or earlier, presumably).
Note the segfault happens inspite of the match_transform() utility
which explicitly checks for "POSIXlt" and the code comment which
says that "POSIXlt" should have been transformed to character,
but seems to fail in recent versions of R.

Definitely. It is a bug.
