Slicing with duplicate index values error

[wesm]

If one has data with non-unique indices like this one:
                        X.3 
X.1_X.2                            
2004-01-02 08:12:30  1.2586  
2004-01-02 08:12:31  1.2586  
2004-01-02 08:12:32  1.2586  
2004-01-02 08:12:32  1.2585  
2004-01-02 08:12:36  1.2585  
2004-01-02 08:12:37  1.2585  

and one does a slicing like:
data[datetime(2004,1,2,8,12,32):]
it fails with

IndexError: invalid slice

Should it work ?
