That is a bug I fixed in 
https://github.com/MythTV/mythtv/commit/b987f5bbaff2d820bd1967348a5abb98bcb82dd2 
as part of https://github.com/MythTV/mythtv/pull/564 .  I'll see about 
backporting it to fixes/32.

The day of the week is from GetDayOfWeek which is for the current time.  
However, FormatDate incorrectly used QDateTime::fromMSecsSinceEpoch() 
instead of QDateTime::fromSecsSinceEpoch() (note: MS instead of S, so 
off by a factor of 1000).

There should be a daylight saving time offset of an hour to one of 
those, so it is as I expect the bug to manifest.
