So, I had a look at this. I can only reproduce it with the binary 
protocol, not with the text protocol. So as a short term work around 
switching to the text protocol should work.
java.time inherits the weird because it also goes through toJavaSecs. I 
am working on a patch but it needs more tests and polish. I hope I'll be 
able to submit a bug and PR shortly.
