Comment (by hodosiszabolcs@…):

 Any custom hack like this breaks JDBC and such APIs exotic issues, which
 is always a good idea to prevent with using valid values for marking NULLs
 (if DBMS cannot support NULLs), like 0001-01-01 (as I saw in some cases),
 or any date which is trivial unable to reach like 3000-01-01, but
 0000-00-00 is always a pain.
 Maybe the program language you are using is not sensible for such cases,
 but would be wise to choose another value, or NULL value, if possible.

 I'm trying to forward my mail to the developer of JDBC driver if I will
 able to investigate them.

 Reading the documentation you linked it I agree this is not a bug, and I'm
 fine with closing of this ticket.

 And sorry about my harsh voice in my previous message.
