And:

ERROR 1228 (HY000): Variable 'timestamp' is a SESSION variable and

Then, as Benjamin said, you have found the bug.
'GLOBAL timestamp' should not exist

Your GLOBAL (ghost) instance of this variable sets the SESSION one at
every client connection.
But you are sort of trapped because there is no syntax to manipulate
that GLOBAL instance.
Also, sadly the manual page does not explain what happens if you set it
to DEFAULT:
