Good points!

I do notice the time variable in your file has a bounds attribute, which points to the name time_bnds. Is that something required by CF conventions? We might be able to rely on that.

Yes, bounds is a CF name: http://cfconventions.org/Data/cf-conventions/cf-conventions-1.7/cf-conventions.html#cell-boundaries

It seems reasonable to assume that the bounds should share the same units as time, therefore I think that the workaround you are using could actually be implemented in xarray, but the actual implementation might be a bit messy...

(it would be much simpler if CF would prescribe the units to also be available at the the time_bnds level...)
