--- Comment #2 from Mike Kaganski <mikekaganski at hotmail.com> ---
1. The formula has fundamental flaw. It takes today's year (2018), next month
(2), and today's day (29), and combines into a date; Feb 29 2018 is one day
after the actual last day in this year's February - so it is March 1st, which
it properly shows.

2. When you take =MONTH(A1), where A1 is =now(), you get simply number 1. It is
*NOT* a date, just a number. But if you will decide to format the cell with the
1 as date, you will get the date of LibreOffice base date (Options-LibreOffice
Calc-Calculate) plus one day (i.e., Dec 31, 1899), so when you only show the
month of that date, you rightfully get December.
