Meta query broken since 4.7.4 Update

I just found the problem, though I cannot explain why or how things went the way they did – the date to compare events by had the wrong date format: date( 'd-m-Y' ) should have been date( 'Y-m-d' ).
The comparison worked until the update, so something must’ve changed about the way WordPress stores date input.
