Comment (by redsweater):

 @rachelbaker The whole mess of code makes my head hurt, so I tried to
 solve it in as straight-forward a way as I could without rethinking it too
 much. My thinking was it's better to fix it in the core method because
 that would protect against a similar bug affecting other clients to that
 function. For example, maybe the REST API will use it? Also, I don't
 completely understand the convention of the 00'd out date strings, nor am
 I confident it's a 100% reliable way to test for whatever case they are
 trying to cover here, but the fact that extending the test to cover
 post_date keeps the logic identical except for also extending it to that
 field, made me most comfortable in submitting a patch I could defend :)
