Comment (by Rarst):

 This is unfixable since other WP functions rely on receiving such
 incorrect "WordPress timestamp", most prominently `date_i18n()`. So it's a
 closed circle of incorrect output matching with incorrect input to produce
 "correct" result.

 So this can be neither fixed or prevented from happening, without
 producing chain reaction of breakage.

 Addressing this would take complete Date/Time component rewrite.
