Yeah, there's not a lot we can do about that. Changing timeofday()'s
output format seems a bad idea, because the only reason that function
exists at all is for backwards compatibility. And the fact that SAT
means something else in australian_timezones mode is unfortunate, but
there's not much to be done about it either.
As of 8.2 you can use clock_timestamp() to get the number you want
without any textual conversions. I'd recommend that ...
