Yikes, confirmed in current sources:

        test=> select timestamp('now');
               timestamp        
        ------------------------
         1999-12-31 19:00:00-05
        (1 row)

This works:
        
        test=> select timestamp('now'::timestamp);
               timestamp        
        ------------------------
         2000-01-11 11:28:08-05
        (1 row)
