This only happened shortly after midnight on January 1st. So I guess this is somehow related to different time zones/offsets.

Yes! I just looked into it and the log itself was still 2022:

2022-12-31 23:16:54.013

And then our UI converted this entry into one with 2023

(it correctly assumes that the string is in UTC and then converted it to local time +1h)

Ok, you had me a bit worried on that one.

A linter should probably flag any format that mixes "week year" with month and days. It's really for use by itself or with payroll week number.
