Further note that testres are not the residuals that you supply to
dwtest() above because the coefficients are

R> coef(lm(formula(nottem ~ -1 + test$time.series[,1] +
        test$time.series[,2])))
test$time.series[, 1] test$time.series[, 2] 
            0.9988047             1.0002117 

but they are close to 1.

Anyway: for dwtest() I would probably just supply the residuals and
regress them on a constant.

R> dwtest(test$time.series[,3] ~ 1)

which is very close to Bernhard's suggestion but a bit simpler.

For bptest() you could do something like

bptest(test$time.series[,3] ~ 1 ,
       varformula = ~ -1 + test$time.series[,1] + test$time.series[,2]) 

if that is the model you would like to test. At least it makes more
explicit what is tested.

I don't know any formal results about this but it should not be
difficult to find a set of assumptions where a nonparametric estimate of
trend and season via STL yields a stationary, independent and
homoskedastic sequence of the residuals. (whether these apply to Vito's
data is of course a different question :))

Best,
