Woah AF, congrats on having your post the first mind-boggling thing I've read in the new year. 
(I had to re-read it once or twice to get what you were saying. Awesome facts there.)
Found this little page on Apple.com. Turns out that they setup Mac OS to handle a range of only 100 years because System 6 only displayed two digit years. Guess we'll just have to figure out the "Mac OS supplied routine" it mentions. The page also mentions that DOS has a time range of 1980 to 2099.
I was curious to find out what the maximum year for Mac OS X (Unix) is. Turns out that Unix has it's own 2038 "Millennium Bug."
Anyway, this does sound like a good programming challenge. But I'm going to be busy with learning Java and Math this collage quarter.
So maybe I can take a look during Spring break or Summer even. If someone does takes this project up I'd love to be kept up to date on their progress.
