Unable to select an old date in wordpress

This is not really an answer, just an attempt to find the specific context for this problem. Please install the following plugin on your site, try to set the three dates and add your result to the second <pre> in the table below.

/* Plugin Name: WPSE Sysinfo */
add_action( 'admin_footer', 'wpse_sysinfo' );
function wpse_sysinfo() {

    $bit         = 4 === PHP_INT_SIZE ? 32 : 64; // PHP version, not OS!
    $php_version = PHP_VERSION;
    $db_version  = $GLOBALS['wpdb']->db_version();

    print "<pre>$bit | $php_version | $db_version</pre>";
}

Gist of the Plugin can be checked out here.
