Additional context
The msg was send in 2010, so not in the future. It is not the isolated case, many msgs exported from this user raise the same flag.

It actually is from it being too far in the future, but it's a specific property that is too far. Let me write a quick patch to try and fix this

[TheElementalOfDestruction]

When I say fix this, I mean the date provided is far beyond any of the known null dates, so I'm going to see if this number is meaningful in any way, and if not just make it so that null dates are formed for numbers beyond a certain point

[TheElementalOfDestruction]

I've added a fix for this on the next-release branch. Feel free to test it, but it will be in the 0.49.0 update

[TheElementalOfDestruction]

Fixed in version 0.49.0
