Comment (by edruid):

 There is a warning for the mismatching timezone.

 I'll attach an image displaying the problem.

 In this case the Member object has the sql row:
 {{{
  id | first_name | last_name | date_of_birth |        email         |
 gender
 ----+------------+-----------+---------------+----------------------+--------
   1 | Eric       | Druid     | 1983-11-20    | eric.dr...@gmail.com | m
 }}}
 The problem is the preselected 1983-11-19 rather than 1983-11-20.

 It looks to me as if the javascript is converting the date (1983-11-20) in
 CEST as a timestamp (1983-11-20 00:00+2), then changing it to UTC
 (1983-11-19 22:00+0) and extracting the date (1983-11-19) and using that
 to mark the selected day.
