Hello,
I discovered that when using "ago", time zone setting seems to be ignored.
While when using "yesterday", "today", ... it is used.
Idem, a fixed day of month uses the time zone setting, and so does the
"last" modifier.
Expected result (when time zone is specified, it is properly used,
otherwise it defaults to system time zone):
today at midnight UTC, Fri, 04 Oct 2013 00:00:00 UTC
today at midnight, Fri, 04 Oct 2013 00:00:00 CEST
yesterday at midnight UTC, Thu, 03 Oct 2013 00:00:00 UTC
yesterday at midnight, Thu, 03 Oct 2013 00:00:00 CEST
1st at midnight UTC, Tue, 01 Oct 2013 00:00:00 UTC
last month at midnight UTC, Wed, 04 Sep 2013 00:00:00 UTC
0 day ago at midnight, Fri, 04 Oct 2013 00:00:00 CEST
1 day ago at midnight, Thu, 03 Oct 2013 00:00:00 CEST
Unexpected result (time zone is ignored when explicitely specified):
0 day ago at midnight UTC, Fri, 04 Oct 2013 00:00:00 CEST
1 day ago at midnight UTC, Thu, 03 Oct 2013 00:00:00 CEST
3 day ago at 2:00 UTC, Tue, 01 Oct 2013 02:00:00 CEST
1 month ago at midnight UTC, Wed, 04 Sep 2013 00:00:00 CEST
Is this a "normal" behaviour ? If so, it probably should be documented
somewhere but I could not find it in Date or Delta pages.
This was seen on Mac OS X 10.7.5 :

Thanks.
