I get a similar result if I use psycopg2 directly:

#!/usr/bin/python


import psycopg2
from datetime import datetime

conn = psycopg2.connect('''dbname=testdb user=postgres host=localhost''')
cur = conn.cursor()

cur.execute("drop table if exists t0")
cur.execute("create table t0(c0 timestamp(0) with time zone)")
cur.execute("insert into t0 values(current_timestamp)")
cur.execute("select c0 from t0 where c0 < %(bindArg)s - interval '1 hour'",
{'bindArg':datetime.utcnow()})
