Same seems to be the case for @angular/material

@angular/cli does show the correct date.

What is the use-case or motivation for changing an existing behavior?

It’s confusing. Especially when hunting for a bug in the same area.

Which versions of Angular, Material, OS, TypeScript, browsers are affected?

At least 5.2.5 and 6.0.0-rc.12
