It would have much easier if you had simply used copy & paste to post a text version of that SQL.
Does your mail client not allow you to do that?

But your test case is essentially this:

   select to_date('33-OCT-2013', 'dd-mon-yyyy')

which indeed returns 2013-11-02 (using 9.3.1)

I don't know if this is inteded or actually a bug - I can't find anything in the docs relating to that behaviour.
