This is an interesting bug because it can only be reproduced with the following set of commands in a python script.

 dummy_date = DateTime('2002-01-01')
 print dummy_date.day()
 print dummy_date.timeTime()
 test_date = DateTime(dummy_date.timeTime())
 print test_date.day()
 print test_date.timeTime()
 return printed

If you do this you will notice two different dates returned with the same timeTime() value. This will happen anytime you define a DateTime object without a time.

I have managed to work around this in my scripts by adding a time to the DateTime declaration:

 dummy_date = DateTime('2002-01-01 00:00:01')

When you do this the problem goes away.
