st: datetime different in Stata 12?

Can anyone confirm that what's listed here [1] is correct for version
12? I'm using Stata 11.2 and I'm not getting this. Am I doing
something wrong? According to the docs, the datetime/c listing should
be
20jan2010 09:15:22.120
In 11.2 I get
19nov2006 23:13:20
What changed? Seems a bit too big to be leap years and leap seconds.
Perhaps it's just a mistake?
Similarly, the datetime/C value is not this either.
set obs 1
generate double datetime_c = 1479597200000 in 1
format datetime_c %tc
Now if I do
clear
set obs1
generate double datetime_c = tc(20jan2010 09:15:22.120) in 1
I get
1579598122120
Surely the behavior of something so fundamental didn't change between
11.2 and 12.
Thanks,
Skipper
