Cannot help you there, but have you looked at the help page for difftime?

"The as.double method returns the numeric value expressed in the specified
units. Using units = "auto" means the units of the object."

Oh, I forgot to mention that the workaround of using as.double (or
as.numeric) works fine, and I've done that.
It's just that it can take quite a while (as in several hours) to
figure out that the reason for the error is that you have to force
difftime objects to be numeric in 2.11.1, when the code's been working
fine before and the error messages are obscure.
