I remember some issues with summertime settings and timezones (I think
the person how originally found the bug was in New Zealand and PG got
confused by a +13 timezone) - don't know if this might affect you or if
it was fixed before 7.0.2

You might want to try the to_char function and see if that displays the
same problem.
