Hmmm, I *can* get the correct behavior IF I assign the environment
variable TZ=America/New_York before I run the client program.  But I
don't need to do that when I'm talking to Oracle.  For the Oracle case,
the database is on another host, both still in US/Eastern time zone.

Are there other ways to get PostgreSQL JDBC to understand the client
timezone w/o explicitly setting TZ?  I'm trying to find an idiot-proof
(well, I'll settle for an idiot-resistant) method.
