Yea but an automated system doesn't know anything about extenuating circumstances does it? Is there a checkbox for that? 
The system knows what the person entering the data puts into it. Exceptions, AFAIK, are manual. They have to go to underwriting to be approved, so it's possible that your CRA is reporting an earlier date or the entry is just screwed up somehow. Either way, I wouldn't argue with it 
Don't fret about denial because you know what it is going to take as there are no unknowns. I know that is a great feeling. I was denied in July 2012 (approved on credit, denied due to age of BK discharge) and today, I am a week from closing!!! :-) Your day is near!
