Hard to know, since you haven't told us anything about your installation. ;)

That said, most of the code in that function has not been touched
since mid-2008. There was a commit in early 2009 that attempted to fix
a bug, and the commit message says the fix is incomplete:
https://github.com/joshuaulrich/xts/commit/743c686c8e2819d0991821d8965ccbe4b7782f3

So that's likely what you're seeing.  I'll investigate and open an
issue once I can put a bit more context into the report.
