Are you sure?  What does 

    class( index ( tempBs ) )

return?  And are you sure that time index for xts cannot be casted into POSIXct?

Yes. POSIXct is 'just' a double with millseconds resolution which can be
passed down to C/C++, stored in a DB, etc pp with ease just because it can
reduce to a double (if you are willing to forego attributes such as local
timezones etc).
