Bug description and reproduction
This isn't super easy to reproduce as it only happens sometimes.
But e.g. if I did "system:import time > 2026-04-01", instead it will show results as though I had put in "2026-01-04". I can't remember if it shows up this way (incorrectly) in the search window, or if the results just are obviously incorrect. Often I can just delete that search predicate and re-do it and it works, or if not I remove it and re-do it graphically, by double-clicking the predicate and using the date picker.
Anyway, I've only ever noticed it swapping the month and day.

Research direction
No source file or test is named. Start by reproducing the system:import time query with dates such as 2026-04-01, compare its results with the graphical date picker, and check whether the month and day are swapped intermittently. Done means manually entered dates consistently produce the same results as equivalent picker-created predicates.
