Yes. I tried the example on 7.0.2 (and 7.1) and could not get it to
misbehave. I was guessing that it involves string->date conversion,
which may pass through timestamp to get there, but it looks like there
is an explicit text->date conversion function so time zone should just
never be involved. Really!
