Comment:

 I can still reproduce the issue on trunk version.

 I tested the first implementation by @SergeyBiryukov but it doesn't seem
 to work for me. So I tested the second implementation and it worked. But
 I'm afraid the patch might have some regressions.

 There are two failing unit tests with the second patch:

 {{{
 Tests_XMLRPC_wp_newPost::test_valid_string_post_date_gmt
 Tests_XMLRPC_wp_newPost::test_valid_IXR_post_date_gmt

 --- Expected
 +++ Actual
 @@ @@
 -'1984-01-11 05:00:00'
 +'0000-00-00 00:00:00'
 }}}

 I also tried to create a unit test dedicated to this ticket, a bit
 struggling as it's an AJAX request but I think I have something working.

 Be cautious this patch is not ready to be committed as the XMLRPC is
 impacted. Let's get some feedback
