[Developers] one-off error in freebase?

This is odd. On *all* my Mac browsers (Camino, Firefox, Safari) the  
date of birth is 1956, and the end-dates 1980 and 1983.
June 30th will display as July 1st. And so on. No matter if I'm  
logged in or not.

Here's a snippet of HTML (for the first institution passed):

<span class="secondary DateTimeLabel" subpropertyid="/education/ 
education/end_date" propertyid="/education/education/end_date"  
topictype="/type/datetime" topicvalue="1979"  
component="DateTimeLabel" datevalue="1979" initialized="true">1980</ 
span>

The datevalue and topicvalue properties are correct, but the actual  
node says 1980 ... ???

best regards,
Christoph
