THese are two different things (I believe that you know the stuff below...):

- date-insert was meant originally to add a date at the beginning of a
  note; it is the date at the time where the thing is written

- the date external inset template is the date at the time of creating
  the latex file; it as created as a fun way to show of the then new
  external inset.

All in all, I think that none of these two uses has been thoroughly
thought out, and it shows.
