I've adapted the patch slightly to the 4.9 testsuite and I have verified that 
the new test does fail without your patch, and passes with it.

I can commit the test and fix to 4.9 and 4.10, but I would like it if someone 
with experience in the date/time code could review first. The fix makes sense 
to me, I just don't know if there are other affected areas or unintended 
breakage that would be experienced. I've CC'ed David Jarvie but anyone else 
with experience can chime in too. :P
