insert    
into     log_entries 
values    (to_date('06/Feb/2003:11:29:11 +13', 'DD/Mon/YYYY:HH24:MI:SS'),0,302,[... various other data elided ...]);

Always inserts the correct date, but sets the time to midnight.

Thinking this might be solved by shuffling with the source data, I've
tried such combinations as:

to_date('06/Feb/2003:11:29:11', 'DD/Mon/YYYY:HH24:MI:SS')
to_date('06/Feb/2003:11:29:11 +13', 'DD/Mon/YYYY:HH:MI:SS')
to_date('06/02/2003:11:29:11', 'DD/MM/YYYY:HH24:MI:SS')

...and so forth, but despite the column in question being a timestamp
with timszone, everything except the date gets truncated.
