I would recommend using only one sequence for the master table. Then just
reference that sequence value for the two foreign keys. For example:

BEGIN;
INSERT INTO Bugs (bug_date) VALUES (CURRENT_DATE);
INSERT INTO BugA (bug_id,bug_desc) VALUES (currval('bugs_bug_id_seq'),'This
is a bug');
INSERT INTO BugB (bug_id,bug_fix) VALUES (currval('bugs_bug_id'),'Reinstall
Windows... again');
COMMIT;

This way, you don't have to worry about sequences getting out of sync
because they all refer to the same value.

As for the timestamp problem... I don't know how you are trying to INSERT
those values (interface, SQL, etc).
