IMHO the real issue is the standard date and calendar API in Java, which is historically one of the weakest points in all JDKs to date. I would propose that we root out these problems by switching to http://joda-time.sourceforge.net/ using "LocalDate" data types, which are designed to be timezone unaware. A stable and readily usable joda time plugin exists for grails, which we could use.
