For the timestamp types, I think these functions were
sending/expecting float8 (before version 7.3), and then float8 or
int64 depending on the server configuration up until 9.6, and since
then int64 only.
The same for the "time" field of the interval type.
There is still an "integer_datetimes" GUC reflecting this.
