Hi Mark,
FWIW, on v5.0, I can't reproduce your problem yet. Here is what I get:
In[1]:=
Export["test.tsv",
{{"2005-01-24", "2005-02-14"},
{ "2005-01-24", "2005-02-14"}}]
Out[1]=
test.tsv
In[2]:=
!!test.tsv
>From In[2]:=
2005-01-24 2005-02-14
2005-01-24 2005-02-14
In[3]:=
Import["test.tsv"]
Out[3]=
{{2005-01-24,2005-02-14},{2005-01-24,2005-02-14}}
In[4]:=
$Version
Out[4]=
5.0 for Microsoft Windows (June 10, 2003)
