Then why not move the rangechecks on month to the full check code too?
(It sure looks like you've lost the defense against month=0, btw.)

BTW, it seems to me that part of the original thread about this issue
included a demonstration that Postgres would sometimes take out-of-range
dates. That may have just been with respect to to_date() ... but are
you sure there are no other paths for parsing a date spec in the main
date/time code?
