Well yes. But you said: "there's now a 75-second discrepancy between date texts and other date properties". I'm just pointing out that if you use the date system in Cocoa, which presumably what's used under AS, the strings provided there:
> Friday, 31 December 1847 1:59:59 AM GMT,
> Thursday, 31 December 1846 1:58:44 AM GMT-00:01:15
show the same difference if you ignore the fact that the timezone for London has been changed. If the date display in AS is using something similar, and just discarding the timezone part of the string, you'd end up with dates having underlying values different from those displayed. Not why it's happening, but perhaps a pointer to why the difference is what it is.

FWIW, I suspect it happened in Lion.
