Hmm ... I'm seeing slightly different misbehaviors in the
integer-datetimes and float-datetimes cases. I think we are about to
have to dig down to the root of the off-by-one-second cases that Tom
Lockhart noticed but never really solved. I suspect that the issue has
to do with platform-specific rounding of negative values to integer, but
I haven't got the full story quite yet.

Recompiling with -O0 might help debuggability.

Not sure about these ... does anyone else get these warnings?
