I believe you need to specify the time-zone offset with a date
formatter.
I had the same 'bug'.
I 'fixed' it by using the time-zone attribute when specifying the
output format for the dates.
Here is a snip of code from a viewPanel that sucks its data from a
google spreadsheet.
Key point is the ex:formats definition in the second line.
<div id="events-viewPanel" ex:role="viewPanel"
ex:collectionID="events_collection"
ex:formats="date{time-zone:4;template:'MMM d, yyyy';
show:date}">
<div ex:role="view"
ex:viewClass="Tile"
ex:label="List view"
ex:showall="true"
ex:showHeader="false"
ex:showSummary="false"
ex:showFooter="false"
ex:showControls="false"
ex:orders=".start-date, .label"
ex:grouped="false"
ex:collectionID="events_collection">
</div>
</div>
Hope that helps.
