I didn't know it existed, that's what's wrong with it!

New patch attached that fixes the issue by hooking erc-echo-timestamp

Subject: [PATCH] Fix erc-echo-timestamps

* lisp/erc/erc-stamp.el: Move to lexical binding.
(erc-stamp-mode): Add erc-echo-timestamps to erc-mode-hook.
(erc-add-timestamp, erc-munge-invisibility-spec): Don't rely on
cursor-sensor-functions.
(erc-echo-timestamps): New function to add erc-echo-timestamp to
post-command-hook in ERC buffers.
(erc-echo-timestamp): Modify to not rely on cursor-sensor-functions.
