No, you just need to turn it off on that particular connection. This was
my original suggestion on how to handle this issue. The attached patch
and built jar files, pass your example test just fine. I've also put up
your test as a standalone compilable file here.

I think this approach is better than trying to infer something from the
particular arguments to setTimestamp because it should just work unless
you are trying to do something tricky. Unless you are working with a
whole bunch of different timezones on the same connection there is no
need to do anything else. I mean, if the driver developers can't
figure out the semantics of setTimestamp how can we expect end users to?
