This topic was started on March 24, according to the history page https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk:Flow/Developer_test_page&workflow=rrkh9dial4kvq2oj&action=history but on February 9, according to the Topic Titlebar mouseover. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk:Flow/Developer_test_page&workflow=rrkh9dial4kvq2oj There's a similar glitch in https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:Sandbox?workflow=rrkvm14ffnu3cmx4 "Testing 1 2 3": the titlebar timestamp says 30 January but its history says the whole thing started 24 March, and that seems to match its position in the Flow board.
I've been able to reproduce this behaviour on my local machine. Seems to be a cache-issue. Workflow timestamp is correct in DB. With $wgFlowUseMemcache set to false (using HashBagOStuff), the timestamp is also correct.

Change 125018 merged by jenkins-bot: Backport fix DB-to-cache pipeline for mw.org https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/125018
The backport to 1.23wmf21 seems to fix this on mediawiki.org; mw:Talk:Sandbox's "Trying a thing!" used to be timestamped "2 months ago", now it's "25 days ago". The fix will ride the train to enwiki on Thursday.
