Sorry, I should have made it clear that that patch was only for 7.3.*.
7.2 has a much more primitive AT TIME ZONE facility --- IIRC, the
function in question returns TEXT in 7.2. (The origin of this problem
seems to be that Tom Lockhart left before he'd finished debugging his
latest round of date-and-time improvements.)

If you need to fix your test system, change the value back to 25.
