select
current_timestamp as t1,
timestamp 'now' as t2,
cast('now' as timestamp) as t3
from rdb$database

Overflow occurred during data type conversion.
conversion error from string "now".

If you comment out the column t2, then it works.

select
current_timestamp as t1,
-- timestamp 'now' as t2,
cast('now' as timestamp) as t3
from rdb$database

It's intended. 'now' is a runtime expression, while timestamp 'dd.mm.yyyy' is a compile-time literal. timestamp 'now' is something in the middle and doesn't make much sense. See CORE5717.
