This is a mistake in the test. In GMT time zone, the array being sorted happens
to contain two identical dates, but different Date objects don't compare as
equal even if the dates are the same, and Array.sort() is not guaranteed to be
stable by ECMA-262. It used to be stable before r32220, but now we use
std::sort instead of mergesort.

We can either switch back to a stable sort, or fix the test.

This test also fails in Firefox, so I think that fixing it would be
appropriate.
