Actually this is expected. 8.1 groups hours and days separately,
because there is no way to know if 1 day means 23, 24 or 25 hours (or
even a fractional number like 24.5) in the presence of a daylight-saving
switch event. So "1 day 69 hours" is actually more correct.
There is a function to convert to the older format:
alvherre=# select justify_hours('1 day 69:00:00');
justify_hours
-----------------
3 days 21:00:00
