Manually set date field using a string "YYYY-MM-DD" does not work?

Hi everybody

Take a look at the following code:

$this->Contract->create($this-
>getValidDataExcept(array('date'))); // Creates a nearly valid
contract (only date is missing)
debug($this->Contract->field('date')); // (empty) - ok
debug($this->Contract->validates()); // 1
debug($this->Contract->field('date')); // 2009-09-24 - ok
$this->Contract->set('date', '2010-11-11');
debug($this->Contract->validates()); // 1
debug($this->Contract->field('date')); // 2009-09-24 - not ok!

Can't I set a date field manually using a string? And why does the
model validate and simply ignore my seemingly wrong date input value?
At least it should complain that date's value is not in a valid
format, shouldn't it?

Thanks for help
Josh
