It's the SOAP interface; Perl tries to auto-guess what type things you
send over it are, and screws up in the case of year-month (basically,
anything that matches \d{4}-\d{2} is a Year-Month). Ruby is silly, and
explodes if it's not actually a valid date.
The fix is basically killing off the auto-guessing, since everything
that the BTS sends out is a string or a number; there are no dates.
[Well, I lie slightly; there are epochs, but these are
indistinguishable from numbers.]
