I wasn't aware of that "feature". Though, I don't like it: it is fragile
for technical reasons (it may or may not work on every exporter) and it
adds yet another special rule to remember.
On the other hand, you have a hard-coded macro to solve this problem:
#+DATE: {{{time(%c)}}}
It will work across every back-end (but you need the latest Org version,
since I recently to fixed a bug related to it).

I am going to remove this hack from new back-ends as it isn't necessary.
