Finally I got around to implement this properly in pandas, and I added also a conversion to R matrices if need be. Notice that this doesn't handle MultiIndex and similar functionalities, but since I don't use them I'm not sure how they'd fit into R data frames.
The biggest drawback here is the use of an intermediate, but other solutions would probably involve hacking around the rpy2 internals (so far all the alternative solutions I found where worse, performance-wise).
Two (smallish) unit tests are included. This code has also been extensively used in production where I work.
All other unit tests pass after this change.
