I'm not sure this is a real bug. Using hebcal 3.2, it
appears that sunset is re-calculated using saturday's date.

you can do a simple test to verify this by looking at
havdalah times -18 minutes after sundown (the same offset
as friday's candle lighting) and notice that sometimes
havdalah is a minute earlier or later.
