I just tried running 0.5.68 (although not the Debian package) and the
latest CVS code and in both cases I could not seem to trigger any output
which includes a time that ends in "60" or "59".  Maybe there is something
different about the time setup on my system.

I still think the latest CVS version may fix the problem you are seeing.
It converts all times to unix time internally (which does not include leap
seconds) and uses the gmtime function to convert the times back to strings
for the final output.  It seems it should be impossible to get a time
ending in "60".  The 0.5.68 code stored and manipulated times using perl
DateTime objects.  DateTime does support leap seconds so I could see it
outputting a time ending in "60".

Can you try running the latest CVS version?  You can download just the
tv_grab_sd_json grabber from:
http://xmltv.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/xmltv/xmltv/grab/sd_json/tv_grab_sd_json.
You should be able to run that file from pretty much any location on your
system if you have a recent xmltv package installed.
