Yes, these are the locations of the ticks, not the data points.  The
default tick locator tries to put the ticks on even days.  If you want
the ticks to be on the data points, you need to do:

  ax.set_xticks(dates)

Also, please respons on list since you may not be the only one with
the same question and I may not be the only one with the answer!
