I have the same problem on my genuine "true blue" XT.  It seems
to me that the date does not advance at midnight while also accessing the
hard disk at midnight.  This could be my imagination, but it seems that
an idle system does advance the date correctly and a busy system sometimes
advances the date correctly.  I have set the time to be a few seconds
before midnight, typed DIR on a long directory, and then checked the
date -- its wrong.  

This has been frustrating to me since I often do very large
makes all night long and the dates of the object files get out of
wack.  I just do a touch (using pc-shell) of the object files the
next morning.
