UPDATE: I see the issue was not fixed in the current release so am especially interested in any suggestions for workarounds. For example, maybe I could hide the default header with CSS and add the correct title in the view.
ORIGINAL QUESTION: I know this was a bug in the 7.x-2.x-dev version of the Date module, but it seems to have been patched. I am running 7.x-2.8 (the latest) in which it should be fixed.
Why am I having this problem, and more importantly how can I work around it? I am working on a site where I only have access to the site administration, and not the server (ie: I can't patch the module myself).
