Oh, you two are the greatest, you just pointed out a runtime bug that I also
have and didn't realize it. This one would have caused rare intermittent
issues, and been terribly difficult to debug in production.

Actually, this is correct behavior, according to how Joda-Time works.
There is no midnight on April 6, 1980, in the Europe/Vienna timezone.
Time skipped directly from April 5, 1980, 11:59 to April 6, 1980,
1:00.

If you want to represent a day in the abstract, rather than actually
midnight on that day, you should use LocalDate.  If you need the first
instant of that day (in that timezone), you can use
LocalDate.toDateTimeAtStartOfDay().

If you really need midnight on that day, you're out of luck, as it
never happened.
