Why do you think this? There's no timezone information associated with a
Timestamp, so it seems like the logical mapping: if you provide a
timezone via Calendar, it's a timestamp-with-timezone; otherwise, it's a
timestamp-without-timezone.

Err, given that the current behaviour is broken, is this a problem?

Every time I've looked at the timestamp code I've gone "ow, that has to
be broken" but never got around to investigating further .. IMO, this is
an area that the driver just gets *wrong* and we should be fixing it so
it works, not trying to support applications that expect the wrong
behaviour!
