Comment (by Rarst):

 Looking at this today. Related stuff seems to have been patched in the
 past in #30429, then reverted in #35053, and so far there doesn't seem to
 be much clarity on how is this supposed to work at all.

 One thing I am confused about in your XML examples is that they contain
 both `post_date` and `post_date_gmt` set to a same time. Is your client
 set to UTC? Is this supposed to be like this? Is it not?
