Never mind. Turns out the bug was in our own code (read: me, personally, being stupid) to convert a java.sql.Timestamp to java.sql.Date. Why it works at all in MySQL... I don't even want to know.

Why is it we can spend weeks looking at a bug, and we can't find it until we decide to blame it on someone else?

We are intermittently getting results from now() which are around 10 minutes in the future. Most calls return a reasonable value. Because the erroneous

Postgres is just reporting what it got from gettimeofday(), so your beef
is with the kernel (or perhaps with glibc) and/or the hardware you're
using.  I think I've heard of kernel bugs causing this type of issue.
