Dear Nathan, Coming back to this thread three years later after I realized you were right (a user of mine reported the same issue on our repository recently)! The XMLUI's Discovery advanced search filters do not work correctly for dates.
In my own example above you can't see the issue because there is only one item matching the filter term. I edited one item's issue date on the DSpace 6 demo repository and you can clearly see that the second item in the search results *should not* match. In this case the search filter for issue date containing "1992-06" returns results for the item having an issue date of 1992-06-26 as expected, but also includes one with an issue date of 1992-01-06. This is actually a bug! I will file a bug report... it affects at least DSpace 5 and DSpace 6.
