Given a timestamp without time zone, timestamp_part('epoch') assumes
that it is in session timezone, and rotates it back to UTC so as to
satisfy the expectation that epoch values start from zero at midnight
UTC. In short, the calculation you're showing does the zone correction
an extra time. Don't do that.
