I can't reproduce this:
$ date -d " 2005-02-19 00:00:00  24 hour " "+%y%m%d%H"
05022000

Perhaps something unexpected is being triggered by your configured
timezone? Running the following commands on your system may shed some
light:

$ date --utc -d " 2005-02-19 00:00:00  24 hour " "+%y%m%d%H"
05022000

$ date -d " 2005-02-19 00:00:00  24 hour " "+%y%m%d%H %z %Z"
05022000 +0000 GMT
