No, seems like to_char only work corrently if the length of the month
correctly...

test=*# select to_date('10 August    2007','DD Month YYYY'); to_date
------------2007-08-10
(1 row)

test=*# select to_date('10 August   2007','DD Month YYYY'); to_date
------------0007-08-10
(1 row)



But this is described, see:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/functions-formatting.html

,----[  quote  ]
| MONTH    full uppercase month name (blank-padded to 9 chars)
| Month    full mixed-case month name (blank-padded to 9 chars)
