KML, I'm about an hour off your timezone. I put the created date in the mydatefield field and it showed up as sameday tomorrow 1/7.
It appears that sameday is assuming that the date field is local time, and rolling the clock forward to make it UTC time. I don't know if that was the planned behavior. If it's a bug, it would be almost invisible to anyone living within a hour of UTC.
