Need a special case for the infinities as well?
postgres=# create table foo (d date);
CREATE TABLE
postgres=# INSERT INTO foo VALUES ('infinity');
INSERT 0 1
postgres=# COPY foo TO '/Users/jwp/foo.copy' WITH BINARY;
COPY 1
postgres=# COPY foo FROM '/Users/jwp/foo.copy' WITH BINARY;
ERROR: date out of range
CONTEXT: COPY foo, line 1, column d
postgres=# DELETE FROM foo;
DELETE 1
postgres=# INSERT INTO foo VALUES ('-infinity');
INSERT 0 1
postgres=# COPY foo TO '/Users/jwp/foo.copy' WITH BINARY;
COPY 1
postgres=# COPY foo FROM '/Users/jwp/foo.copy' WITH BINARY;
ERROR: date out of range
CONTEXT: COPY foo, line 1, column d
postgres=# SELECT version();
