Try setting the date before you set the month? I think setting the month while the current day is later than 28 is going to roll the month on you potentially? Just by reording that I got it to work. When I tried to set the Date's time to 0 to avoid it using the current date that didn't seem to fix things...
It does feel like an odd error though. Might be worth filing a Flash Player bug at http://bugs.adobe.com/jira. Though would be good to test JavaScript to see if it behaves the same.

I am so confused. Any ideas?
