How about the attached patch?

Handling of date intervals when TIME1/2 have time specifications is
undefined behaviour for now. And I am not in favour of making it defined -
we may consider using this semantics to define repeater intervals with
end date in future. That would allow what you attempted to do in the
original email, but using <2023-06-05 Mon 10:30-12:15>--<2023-06-08 Thu>
semantics. See https://orgmode.org/list/877cxp1fbx.fsf@localhost

No. The same section talks about time range: <2006-11-02 Thu 10:00-12:00>
"Timestamp" is the general term we use. We make it explicit in the
parent section that timestamps may or may not have time specification:
A timestamp is a specification of a date (possibly with a time) in a
special format, either =<2003-09-16 Tue>= or
=<2003-09-16 Tue 09:39>=
