Let me take another stab at this. I've set my time zone to London, and I've also customized my Medium time string so that it includes the time zone. Now I'm going to build a date using the values returned in your result:
set x to current date
set hours of x to 0
set minutes of x to 1
set seconds of x to 14
set day of x to 1
set year of x to 1847
set month of x to 1
x
And the result I get is this:
date "Thursday, 31 December 1846 23:59:59 GMT-00:01:15"
So the date string matches fine, if you allow for the fact that the time zone has changed...
