About the fix, I think $now should also be fixed, as it will be invalid
on these dates.

Regarding coreutils, I really can't understand how this can be
considered the correct behavior. If it accepts dates formated as "yyyy-
mm-dd", it should handle it the best as possible. I wouldn't be
surprised to find other scripts that rely on this. And, if you decide
this is really correct, there must be some kind of warning somewhere, so
that other programmers don't need to predict such strange behavior.
