Discrete event scheduling in NetLogo: daily and monthly tasks

This question is slightly related to this one.

Using the NetLogo time extension on NetLogo 5.1.0 and Windows 8.1, I would like my simulation to

According to the time documentation, this should be possible:

"So if you use the time:plus primitive to add 1 month to the date "2012-02-02", you will get "2012- 03-02"; and if you add another month you get "2012-04-02" even though February and March have different numbers of days."

However, in my minimal working example below, the output of the print command in the console is 2011 January 2, 2011 February 2, 2011 March 5 and 2011 April 5.

So, how can I schedule a task on the some day each month?

Bonus question: How can I schedule the task in the first of each month (instead of the second)?

Here's the working example:

extensions [time]

globals[
  start-time
  current-time
]

to setup
  clear-all
  reset-ticks

  set start-time time:create "2011-01-01"
  set current-time time:anchor-to-ticks start-time 1.0 "days"
  time:anchor-schedule start-time 1.0 "days"

  ;time:schedule-repeating-event-with-period "observer" task do-daily 1 1.0 "days"
  time:schedule-repeating-event-with-period "observer" task do-monthly 1 1 "months"
  go-until
end

to do-daily
 ; here are the daily tasks
end

to do-monthly
  ; here are the monthly tasks
 print time:show current-time "yyyy MMMM d"
end

to go-until
  time:go-until 100
end
