Timestamp support went under a big rewrite for 8.0.  The problem doesn't
present there.  I suggest you upgrade; the code in 7.4 is probably buggy
enough that it would be a difficult proposition to fix the bug there.

That said, maybe you could try with the --enable-integer-datetimes flag
to configure -- if you are lucky the bugs are not in that code path.
But I wouldn't count on it.

(I can reproduce the bug here; my 7.4 build has floating point
datetimes.)
