[Shotwell] Shotwell not picking up event date for HTC photos

Hi

Photos taken by my HTC Sensation is put under "No Event" but is placed 
correctly (YEAR/MONTH/DAY/) in the file hierarchy. I presume the 
exif-data is used to help categorize the photo but I can't see what 
might be wrong.

Below are exif-outputs from a photo taken by HTC Sensation and a photo 
taken by Sony Arc. Any suggestions what might be wrong?
