I'll start by saying that I know almost nothing about date handling in
various javascript interpreters.  Gnuplot is just putting out raw seconds;
the conversion from "epoch seconds" to Time/Date is done by the javascript 
engine. So if yours is producing the wrong date I have no clue where to
set about fixing it.

Anyhow, the supported options are limited to requesting it to print 
only the Date, only the Time, or both (default), using
   set mouse mouseformat "Date"
   set mouse mouseformat "Time"
   set mouse mouseformat "DateTime"

If you consistently want some other format, I'm afraid you're on 
your own to modify the javascript code in gnuplot_svg.js.

In general it would be great if there were a way to translate the
coordinate output formats (dates or otherwise) from gnuplot's own
C-like format to something usable in javascript so that the svg
and canvas terminals could use it.  But I failed to find any such
C -> javascript conversion library that could be linked to for
this purpose.
