It gets interesting when you look one day around it:

2012-02-28 -> 2013-02-28 = 366 total, 1 year
2012-02-29 -> 2013-03-01 = 366 total, 1 year
2012-03-01 -> 2013-03-01 = 365 total, 11 months, 30 days
2013-03-02 -> 2013-03-02 = 365 total, 1 year

Seems like it; the total days is correct in all cases, but the breakdown
doesn't look right.
