I beleive that a month is calculated on the 30-days base.
One way to solve this problem is to use a neutal date element and make
timestamps :
SELECT age(('1990-01-01'::date + '10 years 1 mons 1 days'::interval)::timestamp
,
('1990-01-01'::date + '9 years 10 mons 15 days'::interval)::timestamp)
age
--------------
2 mons 16 days
