This may be a fairly ancient bug (2011 or earlier), but I could find no report
for it, so here goes.

The issue, which persists in SMW 1.8.0.5, is that dates stored using Type:Date
are frequently displayed as "1 January 1970", followed by a time stamp, in
semantic queries, including Factbox queries.

A query for the unused date "1 January 1970" or "1970" returns no results, but
one for the precise date and timestamp does return the relevant page. A query
for the date that has been specified, even if this value does not show up in a
query, returns the relevant page, too. Apparently the correct date has been
stored somewhere, so the issue is not as alarming as it looks, but the value
simply can't be retrieved through an #ask query. 

Specifications:

SMW 1.8.0.5
MW 1.19.7
PHP 5.3.3-7+squeeze17 (cgi-fcgi)
MySQL5.1.66-0+squeeze1
