Pubdate in export title minus one

Hello!

I have a huge library of daily newspapers for Kindle in .mobi format. (Actually it is .pobi which I have simply renamed to .mobi to make them readable for Calibre.)

Now I want to convert them all to .ePub and to export them. After fiddling a bit with the export options the exported files look okay. But to my surprise the naming of the exported .ePub files is causing trouble:

I use the date format: %d.%m.%Y
And the file name should be: {title} (Kindle-Ausgabe) {pubdate}

"Kindle-Ausgabe" means "Kindle issue" in German, by the way.

But I don't get the publishing date that is displayed in the library's publishing date column but the publishing date minus one day when I export them. Having the proper publishing date is crucial for a daily newspaper, of course.

Is this a bug? Am I doing something wrong? Any help is appreciated!
