Reminds me of the Zune leap year bug that got some press four years ago [1]. A Zune running during 11:59 PM, Dec 31, 2008 would freeze when the clock ticked over to Jan 1.

Even the response to the problem is similar. Microsoft says, wait until the 2nd and the problem will resolve itself. Apple says, wait until the 7th and the problem will resolve itself.
