Description

I am opening a new issue as requested on #6378. On comment 16 of that issue gives the idea of what is the bug.

Steps to reproduce the problem:
  1. Create an issue with start date and due date. (Let' say May 27 and May 31). I will refer this issue as IssueA.
  2. Create another issue. I will refer this issue as IssueB.
  3. Create a third issue with start date and due date as a subtask of IssueB. (Let's use the same dates: May 27 and May 31).
  4. Modify IssueB and add a relation to "follow" IssueA. This will "push" IssueB and its subtask forward on time.
  5. Create a fourth issue with start date and due date as a subtask of IssueB. (Let's use May 29 and June 4).
    1. Redime will create the issue successfully.
  6. Try to modify this last created issue and change something with the exception of the start/due dates (may be description, title, anything).
    1. This time, Redmine will raise an "Start date is invalid" error and won't let modify the issue.
Expected behaviour:
  1. Trying to create the last issue on the steps above should raise the invalid start date error.
  2. On the displayed error, more information is needed. People may become crazy trying to figure out why that date is invalid. May be something line "Start/End date overlaps with a preceding or following issue"?

Note: It also affects the demo that was at http://demo.redmine.org the same date I posted this issue. In fact, I did the above steps on the online demo before posting this issue to confirm its current existence.
