Bug Report: Historical records search displays Billion Graves record with wrong death date
In the historical records search results list for Rosie May Taylor (after changing the Last Names search criterion value to McMillan), a Billion Graves source is listed with a death date of 12 January 1982. When I select that record, the Record Information panel shows a death date of 1 December 1982. When I open the source in the source linker, it shows 1 December 1982; that same value can be found on the Billion Graves website itself, the New Zealand BDM website and the cemetery burial website.
The historical list display mechanism has switched the day and month, treating the date as if it were in the US format. In the past, prior to the hiatus that occurred recently when the BG site couldn't be accessed from FS, I often saw dates displayed in a format like "nn.nn.yyyy", which could also be confusing to the reader.

Here's the equivalent for Rosie's husband George McMillan. In this case, the results list gets the date right (because it's not ambiguous), but the Record Information panel doesn't show the death date at all.
In the source linker, the record information is shown as "15 5 1982" (which is the format I should have specified in my original post).
