Doesn't seem to reproduce here, though a field called timestamp strikes me as
confusing.

richardh=# CREATE TABLE bar (a text, timestamp timestamptz);
...
richardh=# SELECT * FROM bar;
 a |           timestamp
---+-------------------------------
 a | 2003-03-05 18:48:45.295279+00
 b | 2003-03-05 18:48:48.314004+00
 c | 2003-03-05 18:48:51.035841+00

richardh=# SELECT a,date_part('year',timestamp) FROM bar;
 a | date_part
---+-----------
 a |      2003
 b |      2003
 c |      2003

richardh=# select version();
                           version
-------------------------------------------------------------
