[[WP:V]] says no. The use of the wrong tense has the additional benefit in that it instantly indicates that there is something that needs updating here.
You assume that such errors are good, just because they are obvious. While I respect your uberterseness, you miss the point that these are errors which are not always obvious and therefore go undetected. You also miss the point that "date" here refers not just to tenses, but to any context where language refers to future events. That such events often do not come is one objection, but it does not to my mind rise to become an issue of V.
So what in V would prohibit date-based tense or context switches?
