That's not quite accurate ... the date of an e-publication is the valid 
date of publication IF the publication complies with the requirements of 
the 2012 amendment to the ICZN Code.

In the case that Victor Fet outlined in his original question the 
amendment has apparently not been followed, and the date of publication 
is that of the printed copy.
