Is there a GP 2010 R2 2/29 Issue?

Is there a leap year/Feb 29 issue in the current GP 2010 product?

A user was trying to enter a Miscellaneous Log Batch Entry today with a Posting Date of 2/29/2012 and sees the error. Using 2/28/2012 works

The following errors were found while validating distributions...The reporting period is  missing or invalid.

    Seems similar to

      Article ID: 891212 - Last Review: July 25, 2011 - Revision: 3.0

      "The Reporting Period is missing or invalid" error message when you try to post a Project    

      timesheet transaction in Great Plains 7.5 and in Great Plains 8.0

    But in a different area and in the latest version.

    Any ideas other than not to use the date?

    I think I have the behavior nailed down
    - The Miscellaneous Log Setup screen has 03/01/2011 as the "First Date for Reporting Period 1".
    - "No of Reporting Periods per Year" in setup is 365 and
    - "Reporting Periods" is set to daily

    On the Miscellaneous Log Entry screen, the Rep. Period count gets messed up on Feb 29 with a count of 366. Pushing one more day by setting the Period Begin Date on this screen with the arrow changes the date to 03/01/2012 and the Rep. Period number back to 1.

    I believe it is a subtle bug that you would likely only see on leap years with these specific settings.
