Oh, I see.  I thought you were doing some interval math on it.  Yes,
your right, it should be taken as being 5:00:00.

Either way, I've been unable to reproduce it with either 7.2 or 7.3 --
nor do I see any notes about that feature having been removed or carried
over to current releases -- no regression tests for it in 7.3.

Could you provide a complete test case, or confirm that it does what you
expect in 7.3?

7.2.2:
iqdb=# select '0001-01-01 4:59:60'::timestamptz;
ERROR:  Bad timestamp external representation '0001-01-01 4:59:60'
