The problem is the use of colon as a delimiter. In 1.69.0, changes to the
parsing of format strings were introduced. A consequence is that only the
following characters are recognized as delimiters: 

<space> <tab> <CR> <LF> , . / - ( ) [ ] 

In the template with name="datetime.format" in pi.xsl, the list of
delimiters is a string in a with-param element (&#xa0; represents all
whitespace characters):  

  <xsl:with-param name="delimiters" select="'&#xa0;,./-()[]'"/> 

Maybe there is a good reason for colon not being in that list. Maybe it is
just an oversight. Anyway, when I added it, like this: 

  <xsl:with-param name="delimiters" select="'&#xa0;,./-()[]:'"/> ,

the dbtimestamp PI worked as expected again.
