This is documented under BUGS & CAVEATS:
C<parse_datetime()>/C<parse_datetime_duration()> always return one or two
DateTime objects regardless whether the parse was successful or not. In
case no valid expression was found or a failure occurred, an unaltered
DateTime object with its initial values (most often the "current" now) is
likely to be returned. It is therefore recommended to use C<success()> to
assert that the parse did succeed (at least, for common uses), otherwise
the absence of a parse failure cannot be guaranteed.
