I think if the formatting was more consistent, the test output would be:

That second example is a bit different than I noticed up-thread, not just a formatting issue but the offset is never
applied!.That test run under tz +10, and this is how it works with the non-JSONB data types:
david=# set time zone '+10';
SET
Time: 0.689 ms
david=# select '2023-08-15 12:34:56'::timestamptz;
timestamptz
------------------------
2023-08-15 12:34:56+10
(1 row)
Time: 0.491 ms
david=# select '2023-08-15 12:34:56'::timestamp::timestamptz;
timestamptz
------------------------

Best,
