Well, no, because the cases at issue are where an <interval qualifier>
is specified.  8.3 did this:

regression=# select '99 seconds'::interval second;interval 
----------00:00:39
(1 row)

and even more amusingly,

regression=# select interval '99' minute;interval 
----------00:01:00
(1 row)

regression=# select interval '99' hour;  interval 
----------00:00:00
(1 row)

It was all pretty broken back then.
