Comment (by redsweater):

 The same commit [34681] also changed the behavior of dates specified with
 the "date_created" key, such that the date is set on the server to the
 dateCreated value without regard for its time zone information. For
 example, a post that is edited and set to a date:

 {{{
 <dateCreated>
 <value><dateTime.iso8601>20151215T15:19:49Z</dateTime.iso8601></value>
 </dateCreated>
 }}}

 Comes back from the server as the same date and time with the Z stripped:

 {{{
 <member><name>post_date</name><value><dateTime.iso8601>20151215T15:19:49</dateTime.iso8601></value></member>
 }}}

 This has the effect of causing posts to be scheduled or set as having been
 published at a time that is as many hours off from GMT as the user's local
 time zone.
