This is a workaround, and could be the basis for a round.Date improvement:
date <- Sys.Date()
as.Date(round(as.POSIXct(date), "years"))
as.Date(round(as.POSIXct(Sys.Date() + 180), "years"))

Technically, there is a round() for 'Date' objects, but it doesn't
seem very useful, because it basically just fall back to the default
round() method, which only takes the 'digits' argument.
Here's an example:
> date <- Sys.Date()
> class(date)
[1] "Date"
We see that there are only two round()

Why is not `round
I just wanted to add some additional problems from trying to replicate this.
`trunc` does indeed work as advertised here, as does calling
`round.POSIXt(Sys.Date())`
and `round(Sys.Date())`. These functions are definitely implemented.
However, I am also able to replicate Jiří’s error:
