Confirmed.

I've sent a bug report upstream [1].

However, I'll challenge the severity, because the bug is inherited from 
PHP's built-in date-time handling. PHP in general has this problem with 
dates.

The test fails on:
```
$this->assertTrue(Carbon::parse('2019-06-02 12:23:45')->is('June'));
```

Clearly that's June even on March 31. Unfortunately, PHP disagrees.

```
var_dump(new DateTime()); 
  
  

# class DateTime#1 (3) { 
  
  

#   public $date => 
  
  

#   string(26) "2025-03-31 12:00:00.000000" 
  
  

#   public $timezone_type => 
  
  

#   int(3) 
  
  

#   public $timezone => 
  
  

#   string(3) "UTC" 
  
  

# }

var_dump(new DateTime("June"));
# class DateTime#4 (3) {
#   public $date =>
#   string(26) "2025-07-01 00:00:00.000000"
#   public $timezone_type =>
#   int(3)
#   public $timezone =>
#   string(3) "UTC"
# }
```

So while it's definitely incorrect, it's consistent with PHP's built-in 
behavior.
