Yes, definitely. However, the documentation states that we should get back a netcdftime.datetime object when we are out of these bounds (http://xarray.pydata.org/en/stable/time-series.html#creating-datetime64-data). This only worked for (3) and not for (1). Thus only when the date was < 1678 and not for > 2262. I have not looked into why this occurs.

In my example (2) it returned a working datetime64[ns] object by wrapping around the year, which looks like an overflow problem. I also haven't looked into where this happens (xarray or netcdftime or ...), but this feels a bit dangerous to me.
