Stephen, By all means learn about git bisect, it's an extremely useful troubleshooting tool. But don't exercise yourself too much about this particular failure, Chris and I know exactly what commit caused it and that the underlying cause is a bug in ICU (International Components for Unicode, http://site.icu-project.org/) versions 57-62.
I had thought that the problem was confined to 1969, but tonight got https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=797067 which makes me think that it's every year, so more testing needed.
