Presumably you mean "8.3.7 and 8.2.13 built with the nonstandard
--enable-integer-datetimes option". The reason I find this a big issue
is that the default behavior has changed as of 8.4. We'll want to
back-patch of course, but the point is that these cases do work as
expected under float timestamps.

I'll take a closer look later, but it seems reasonably sane at first
glance. Thanks for doing the legwork!
