Comment:

 Ooof, unless I'm missing something, this is a tricky patch.

 The trick is to change the older/newer operator to older/newer OR exact
 same time AND not the same post ID. That makes the same-time post show up
 in the next/prev links, but the problem is you then get stuck in a loop,
 i.e. you go from post A to post B and back to post A. You also can't do a
 less-than/greater-than on the ID because IDs don't necessarily correspond
 to the datetime (i.e. you could have older posts with IDs both higher and
 lower than the current post).

 As I said, seems to be pretty hard to get it not stuck in a loop.
