I get "Bad date external representation ''" from either 6.5.3
or current sources.

Are you sure you're running 6.5.3, and not some older version?
I fixed a lot of bugs involving CASE around 6.5 ...

If it's not that, then there must be some other aspect of your
example that's critical but you haven't shown us. Please file
a formal bug report giving a complete SQL script that reproduces
the bug.
