I don't think the behavior has changed, you're merely checking it in
a different timezone from the OP.
The real question is whether we should throw error for out-of-range
MM (or other fields). I think there are actual use cases for certain
"invalid" inputs, like adding one to the day field without worrying
about end of month. Perhaps there is not a use case for a month value
as far out of range as this, but where would we draw the line?
Anybody know what Oracle's to_timestamp does?
