No, that older report about "date -d '1 hour 1 minute ago'" is
unrelated. As far as I know, nobody yet has had the time to look into
implementing the code+documentation change requested by the older report.
The Wanderer volunteered to do that but his time is limited; if the
matter is urgent to you perhaps you could give it a try.
Anyway, the newly reported behavior is a bug, so I installed this
patch into coreutils (and gnulib, for getdate.y). Thanks for
reporting it, Mr. McDole.

* lib/getdate.y (get_date): When adding relative date, start with the
initial time, not with the result of the first mktime call.
* tests/misc/date (relative-3): New test, derived from a bug
report by John Thomas McDole.
