This and related fixes involving date stamps were recently installed.
See:

  * f99a0dae7ca Align date stamps to whole days in ERC
  * 4c851085769 Decouple disparate escape-hatch concerns in erc-stamp
  * 781f950edab Preserve user markers when inserting ERC date stamps
  * f7c7f7ac20d Don't over-truncate erc-timestamp-format-left

The second one might be of interest to users with a legitimate need to
call `erc-insert-line' (formerly `erc-display-line') directly, as
opposed to via `erc-display-message'. It's now possible to do so without
sacrificing timestamps and without also incurring the likely unwanted
`cursor-sensor-functions' property. (The latter now has its own separate
compatibility flag.)
