Description
WordPress 2.2 reports the incorrect time - and perhaps a malformed time - when a desktop application requests the information. This occurs both when posting a single article (a desktop app will then refresh that individual listing) and when refreshing all entries.
This may be related to issue 4158, but I can't be sure.
http://trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4158
I've verified this issue on several servers and with a clean install of WordPress 2.2., as well as with at least two (ecto, MarsEdit) desktop app blog editors.

This strikes me as a pretty critical issue, since it changes behavior that desktop apps have relied upon for a long time.
May I suggest reverting to 2.1.3 format dates until a more thorough survey of what desktop applications actually expect is conducted? It will at least fix things for my app (MarsEdit) and Ecto, and probably other desktop apps whose users have not yet discovered the bug.

I don't believe the versions are relevant. It fails on several versions of MarsEdit and the latest version of ecto. It had been working correctly prior to WordPress 2.2 on both.
I did discover that if the strings "Ymd\TH:i:s" are changed to "Ymd\TH:i:s\Z" in xmlrpc.php, the date is correctly reported and displayed in blog editors. I don't consider that any more than a temporary band-aid.

Replying to iacas:
I don't believe the versions are relevant.
As I am sure you know, the various components is almost always relevant if someone has to look at a problem months later.
Noting: Latest version of Ecto is 2.3.1 and MarsEdit is 1.1.8 .
