I've just tested this with the newer version of Date::Manip in testing. It
seems it's no longer a problem in that version. According to the upstream
changelog, the code for handling recurrences was redone in version 6.20, so
I'm going to assume that this bug was fixed at that point.

I did also test it on Squeeze, and can confirm that I get the same error. It
seems that week_of_year in Date::Manip::Base is returning undef for some
values, but I've not yet had chance to look further and find out why.
