Not sure I get it right, are you saying that the dates are not persisted and 
that the time based activation in 4.3.2 doesn't work?

It is completely workflow driven. If you don't use workflow for activation, 
fields are ignored. If you do the default activation workflow actually reads 
both values

You mean in the Store repository (workspace)?
You should not have to worry to save info there explicitly. All you should need 
to do is to make information available in the workflow context and it should be 
persisted automatically.

As I said it is workflow driven. Look at the default workflow. There is one 
"sleep" loop before actually activating the content waiting for start date and 
there is another sleep for endData after the activation, optionally executing 
deactivate command in the same flow instance.
