Yeah, there's not a lot we can do about that.  Changing timeofday()'s
output format seems a bad idea, because the only reason that function
exists at all is for backwards compatibility.  And the fact that SAT
means something else in australian_timezones mode is unfortunate, but
there's not much to be done about it either.

As of 8.2 you can use clock_timestamp() to get the number you want
without any textual conversions.  I'd recommend that ...
