The main developer of NCL is aware of this issue.

The problem is with the ECMWF file not with NCL. Unfortunately,
it is unlikely that ECMWF will change. It is possible that
the source NCL can be changed to accomodate the file. The
real issue is to make sure that there will not be an
undesirable side-effects from this change. This requires
some thought.

Here is a quote: the problem is that I need to make sure thata data
which actually uses the time range correctly will not be affected.
To date I have not found any data that is inconsitent in it's use
like this set.
