The single value of the time coordinate is wrong in the files. So it is a file content problem not a problem in the software. Therefore I'll close this issue.

However, Panoply displays the time information correctly and I found out why: Panoply correctly interprets the `time_bnds` variable to which the `time` coordinate variable points to via its attribute `bounds`. Since this is conforming to CF, I wonder whether xarray should support this bounds convention. From the CF conventions 1.6:

> It is often the case that data values are not representative of single points in time and/or space, but rather of intervals or multidimensional cells. This convention defines a bounds attribute to specify the extent of intervals or cells. When data that is representative of cells can be described by simple statistical methods, those methods can be indicated using the cell_methods attribute. An important application of this attribute is to describe climatological and diurnal statistics.

Details are in [Section 7.1 Cell Boundaries](http://cfconventions.org/cf-conventions/v1.6.0/cf-conventions.html#cell-boundaries)
