My own belief is that that might be ok.  I don't think this is though:

neelix hgs 57 %> ruby -e 'p Time.local(1997,12,31,23,59,0)'
Wed Dec 31 23:59:00 GMT 1997
neelix hgs 58 %> ruby -e 'p Time.local(1997,12,31,23,59,60)'
Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 GMT 1998
neelix hgs 59 %> 
because it is legal to add a leap second at the end of the year.
I don't know whom we could ask about this.
