Exactly. I followed these steps:

1) I fetched a few newsfeeds. They all listed with correct date.
2) Plugged in the Kindle and waited until it showed up in Calibre
3) Highlighted the newsfeeds
4) Clicked on Send to Device

When I disconnected and then looked at the Kindle, all the newsfeeds I had just transferred had tomorrow's date.

I found that within Calibre, the publication date metadata is displayed properly, but checking the files with Mobi2mobi, they actually had tomorrow's date (off by 6 hours, to be precise, which is my timezone's GMT offset, coincidentally). If I then changed them to today's date, they would display correctly on the Kindle.

Also, I found that simply displaying and resaving each feed's metadata (in Calibre) corrected the metadata mismatch as well.

Pretty weird, eh?
