Ruby on Rails

I updated the above mentioned gist. 'expected' is a DateTme, 'found' is
ActiveSupport::TimeWithZone.

Apologies, this was buried at the end of the OP:

But this is all now moot: I posted this as a Rails issue:

https://github.com/rails/rails/issues/6814

where @pixeltrix patiently educated me on the anomalies of ancient
calendar systems. The best line was "[calendar reforms] can lead to
oddities like William Shakespeare and Miguel de Cervantes dying on the
same date but 10 days apart." He also suggests using #gregorian to
adjust the datetime before converting to time, e.g:

>> DateTime.jd(2000000).gregorian
=> Wed, 18 Sep 0763 00:00:00 +0000

So: not a bug. Just a reality of calendar reforms.
