Date fields should be supported, but only if they are part of the standard
DBF format.
Some programs generate extended formats for them, in that case we might
not be able to read that field, or recognize it as a valid date

Hum no, this would not be a valid DBF date format, the format you cite is
the ISO one used by the GML encoders.
The valid DBF date format, from the spec, is
"8 bytes - date stored as a string in the format YYYYMMDD."
Could you share the shapefile for further analysis?
