Can not set a Date property with a Long value since JCR 1.6.2

[Vidar Ramdal]

This worked in Jackrabbit 1.6.0:
var node = session.getItem("/");
node = node.addNode("dummy", "nt:resource");
ValueFactory vf = session.getValueFactory();
Value = vf.createValue("1234", 3); // Create a LongValue
node.setProperty("jcr:lastModified", value);
out.println(node.getProperty("jcr:lastModified"));

With Jackrabbit 1.6.2, however, this fails:
javax.jcr.nodetype.ConstraintViolationException: no matching property
definition found for {http://www.jcp.org/jcr/1.0}lastModified

Is this a bug, or intentional?
