Strange.  This part of /usr/src/bin/date/date.c is responsible for the
wtmp record:

	/* set the time */
	if (nflag || netsettime(tval)) {
		logwtmp("|", "date", "");
		tv.tv_sec = tval;
		tv.tv_usec = 0;
		if (settimeofday(&tv, (struct timezone *)NULL))
			err(1, "settimeofday (timeval)");
		logwtmp("{", "date", "");
		        ^^^
	}

Btw., your ``still logged in'' is also bogus (most likely out of
`last' not recognizing the ``}'' as a special token), mine looks like:

date      {                         Sun May  5 16:15 
date      |                         Sun May  5 16:14
