Timestamp out of range Exception with jdbc-driver from 7.4-beta1

I get the following when trying to getTimestamp():

java.sql.SQLException: SERRORC22008Mtimestamp out of range: "292278994-08-17
07:12:55.807000+01"Ftimestamp.cL328Rtimestamptz_in

nbeweb=# select COALESCE(a.valid_from, a.created) from on_article a where a.id
= 510;
coalesce
- ---------------------------
2002-05-03 10:13:21.16+02

nbeweb=# select valid_from , created from on_article where id = 510;
valid_from | created
- ------------+---------------------------
| 2002-05-03 10:13:21.16+02

both fields are timestamp with time zone.

btw: What's up with the funny formatting of the error in the Exception?
