Ah, I broke this with some recent additions to implement more ISO
conventions (I changed the behavior of the date/time parser so that it
does not willingly ignore unrecognized fields).
I see the problem and the solution, but am in the middle of a few
changes to SET code and can't test at the moment. Hopefully I'll get
this fixed in the next couple of days, and if not I'll get it done early
next week.
Would you like to add some tests to the regression suite? Clearly this
isn't covered there...

Hmm. Why is the result nonsensical? "day of week" does not have meaning
for intervals, so it should not be recognized, right?
It is the same result as saying
SELECT timestamp_part('yabadabadoo', time '20:38:40');
