Ack. However, AFAIR I was able to use "." (to jump to $today) *and*
type "31.12." (without C-q . or similar) before.

So in my opinion, it is not interfering at all: It can be solved by
interpreting "." (as goto-today) *only* if nothing else has been
written into the minibuffer.

This way, "." jumps to today *and* the user is able to enter
"31.12." in the minibuffer in order to jump to the last day of
December.

Thanks! This workaround solves my issue for now.

Thanks for the pointer! Copied to my Emacs notes section :-)
