I have never come across "the past month" being used to mean a calendar month, rather than the past month up to today. (And a quick Googling confirms that Americans use the latter meaning, too.) A calendar month would be "last month", not "the past month". And as you've pointed out, calendar months just aren't interesting here.
If people did misinterpret it that way, though, then "Most common problems in this month" would be even worse, because the phrase "this month" *is* commonly used to refer to the calendar month.
