I can't seem to get to_timestamp() or to_date() to work with quarters,

The source code says

                 * We ignore Q when converting to date because it is not
                 * normative.
                 *
                 * We still parse the source string for an integer, but it
                 * isn't stored anywhere in 'out'.

That might be a reasonable position, but it seems like it'd be better to
throw an error than silently do nothing.  Anybody know what Oracle does
with this?

+1 for throwing error.
Oracle 10g throws ORA-01820: format code cannot appear in date input format.
