Follow up: range query with timestamp returns different result with index than without (7.3.3)

Just a followup:

the reason for this misbehaviour was an invalid timestamp value.
I've tried to dump/restore the db and the restore choked on a
"incorrect timestamp" namely:
4714-11--2147483624 -2147483648:-2147483648:-2147483648 BC
(out of the dump file)

After I've elimnated the lines containing this value, and successfully
restoring the db, the transcript below worked fine (w/o/ problems)

Don't know how the values got there in the first place (everything in
the db was
created through a java app through JDBC)

P.S.: The db was created with 7.2.3 and then upgraded to 7.3.3 (now
7.3.4)
