 In class-wp-xmlrpc-server.php, there is a bug with the calculation of
 dates if a post_date is set.

 {{{
 if ( ! empty( $dateCreated ) ) {
         $post_data['post_date'] = get_date_from_gmt( iso8601_to_datetime(
 $dateCreated ) );
         $post_data['post_date_gmt'] = iso8601_to_datetime( $dateCreated,
 'GMT' );
 }
 }}}

 `get_date_from_gmt` assumes the parameter passed is a GMT string.
 `iso8601_to_datetime( $dateCreated )`, however, is the local time. It
 should have the GMT parameter as per the next line to ensure the two dates
 are always in sync; currently the first one is always incorrect.
