As discussed in a few
occasions<https://groups.google.com/d/msg/google-visualization-api/bN4O7So-K-E/enCK0FCAInAJ>in
the past, this is not bug, but the Javascript standard for Date
representation. Months are numbered from 0 (January) to 11 (December),
meaning that month 8 is actually the 9th, aka September.

This is defined in the ECMAscript standard (section 15.9.1.4 of
http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/files/ECMA-ST/Ecma-262.pdf)
and also clarified in simpler terms here (
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Date).
It has been like this, well, for quite a while :-).
