I also see this, most commonly associated with RIS download from  
Biomed Central, Science Direct, and several journal sites that seem  
use similar software (for example, Sage Online at online.sagepub.com).  
The RIS record line starting with PY contains the year as a four digit  
number, and this may be followed on the same line by a space and the  
month as text, or slashes separating the month and issue number from  
the year (as below). BibDesk 1.3.20 imports the whole line into the  
year field. I haven't tried the latest nightlies. BibTex citations  
from those sites (if available) don't have the problem.
