I'm not sure about this change to the test suite...

Does this imply that constructing an NSDate with an ISO date without
specifing the time is invalid?  I'm afraid that may break some adaptor
implementations where the database fields differentiate between dates
and timestamps.

Yes it does mean that it's invalid ... if you want to create a date from a string without the timestamp then the format should not contain a timestamp part. Such code would not work on MacOS-X (or with the base library with the appropriate bugfix). The method initWithString... is explicitly documented to say that the string must match the format.
