You sure you don't have a line like this in /etc/crontab?

0       *       *       *       *       root    newsyslog

It looks like newsyslog is having problems parsing that $W0D2 value,
but it works okay for me.  Possibly the timezone you are in has a DST
switch that skips directly from 1:59 to 3:00 next Sunday, which means
there is no 2:00, which is why newsyslog is complaining.
