You are right. At first glance, it appears that I have been negligent in
properly updating the default prepanel function for levelplot to handle
DateTime objects. For now, you could use xyplot's default instead:
levelplot(z ~ x * y,
prepanel = lattice:::prepanel.default.xyplot)
Add a 'scales = list(axs = "i")' to get a better looking result (with
the bordering rectangles partially clipped).
