I don't agree this is a low priority bug.  This bug throws off new users
when they need to look at today's date form some reason.  I have helped
3 colleagues - business as well as tech - to switch from Windows to
Ubuntu and almost all of them were un-pleasantly surprised by this bug.

Even if this was a low priority bug, I think it should be easy to fix.

Small and nice little improvements like these add up to make a noticable
positive impact on the usability of Ubuntu/Unity desktop.

Title:
  Calendar applet does not show today's date

Status in The Date and Time Indicator:
  Fix Released
Status in Unity Foundations:
  Fix Committed
Status in “indicator-datetime” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-panel

  The calendar applet (the one visible after clicking the clock) is slow
  to update its date field. Only after hiding it once, and showing it
  again will it update the date.

  Steps to reproduce:
  1) Log in
  2) Run a session for a day or two
  3) Open the calendar applet by clicking the clock. Although the date in the text field is correct, the graphic calendar still shows the date at which you either originally logged in, or clicked the calendar before.
  4) Hide it, and show it once more. The calendar now shows the correct date.

  The conflicting visual data can be very confusing if you only summon
  the calendar to find out what day it is. (I don't get much sunlight.)

  Using  gnome-panel-1:2.32.1-0ubuntu6.5  on Natty.
