whoa, that's a weird behavior, but it seems not to be a bug. I learned
something today!

It looks like some Emacs implementations don't support dates after
2038-1-1, so Org doesn't let you specify them by default. See the
variable `org-read-date-force-compatible-dates'. I think you want to set
this variable to nil.
