Date format mangling on import of DOI

It seems like sometimes when importing citations from DOI, the date format is converted to legacy/non-optimal forms: e.g. importing this DOI: 10.1007/s10948-013-2148-x
leads to a date in Zotero (string): "8/2013",

The ISO format for dates is used in many cases and seems like it would always be preferred (in this case, it would be "2013-08")

The XML data for this DOI has an unambiguous format with labeled year and month, so the conversion to legacy format string seems to be happening inside the Zotero client. (see http://api.crossref.org/works/10.1007/s10948-013-2148-x/transform/application/vnd.crossref.unixref+xml )
