This is behaving as specified. Previously, the behavior was
unspecified. POSIX has amended it for future issues as the resolution
of https://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1727 to read:
The tm_yday member of the tm structure pointed to by tm shall be
set to this number minus 1.
strptime generally does not behave like mktime, doing
normalizations/conversions.
