The problem turned out to be forgetting to use first=T when
loading the resample library.  Hence the ordinary version of mean
was used, instead of the version from the resample library (that
supports weights).

Newer versions of the resample library are more forgiving; they
will move themselves to the right spot if you forget to specify first=T.
