The ECPG datetime datatype support code has been basically unmaintained
for years, and has diverged quite far at this point from the core code.
I wouldn't expect that a patch to the core code necessarily applies
easily to ECPG, nor would I expect somebody patching the core to bother
trying.
Perhaps modernizing/resyncing that ECPG code would be a worthwhile
undertaking, but it'd be a mighty large one, and I'm not sure about
the size of the return. In the meantime, benign neglect is the policy.
