Date conversion error when using America/Sao_Paulo timezone because of daylight saving

The problem happens in 3 different environments, Mac, Ubuntu and Windows Server, all with Java timezone configured as America/Sao_Paulo.

For attributes of date type, conversion errors are thrown when I try to set some specific dates, like 2015/10/18 or 2014/10/19. Those are daylight saving starting dates.

It's possible to reproduce the error using custom or OOTB content model.

The provided patch is not a complete fix but rather a stop gap as the assertion prevents the test from passing due to the timezone difference.
