I've run into this many times.
If you consult google (here's an example website) you'll see that because of daylight savings time, 2:01 AM on April 4 2002 did not exist because the clocks went forward to 3 AM on that date. So, lubridate returns NA
because there was no 2:01 AM that day. Fun times!
Ah! Fun times, indeed! Reminds me of an English film I saw many, many years ago in which the hero (Dirk Bogarde??) was a passenger on an ocean liner traveling across times zones. Normally he was a shy person, but when the ship’s clocks changed effectively making an hour disappear (it did not exist) he was transformed into a gregarious bon vivant.
Thank you for the explanation.
