Can you file a bug report about this, please, at bugzilla.gnome.org? 
I'll need to explore this a little.  The official support is for
Postgresql 7.2.x, and the semantics of now() and datetime('NOW') are a
tad different (i.e., now() appends the timezone to the output).  It's
probably a non-issue, but never hurts to be sure.
