Yeah, looks like it to me too.

It probably is the same bug. The underlying cause of that bug is
explained here:
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-bugs/2007-04/msg00129.php
I think what you are seeing is just a variant case caused by the same
lock being written out to the twophase file twice. In any case there's
probably little point in digging further until you've updated to a
version with that fix --- if you still see the problem afterward,
we can look closer.

BTW, what's with the bizarre "Local time zone must be set--see zic
manual" where the timezone should be? Are you intentionally selecting
the "Factory" zone?
