Is this deliberate?

usa=# select '1-1-2001'::date;
date
------------
2001-01-01
(1 row)

usa=# select '1-1--2001'::date;
date
------------
2001-01-01
(1 row)

usa=# select '1-1---2001'::date;
date
------------
2001-01-01

usa=# select '1------------------1--------------2001'::date;

The guys who might actually be able to tell you whether it was an
