actually one more solution comes to my mind - write custom command that would update custom property, say "publicationDate" of page and put that in the workflow. If you use versioning, you would have to put such command in command chain BEFORE versioning. If you don't use workflow you can simply add it in the workflow definition itself, just before the activation command invocation. When using scheduled activation, you can set it to the value of startDate property set by the activation dialog. This way you can ensure that value will be exactly same on author and all public instances. As I tried to explain in the issue, value set by Magnolia is tight to activation functionality and have to be set only upon successful activation.
