That's not realtivedelta taking care of it, it's the way it is
used: the week with 4.1. in it is the first ISO week of a year;
it then goes back to the previous Monday and adds 14 weeks from
there to go to the Monday of the 15th week. This works fine as
long as 4.1. doesn't fall on a Monday...

You don't really expect anyone to remember such rules, do you ? :-)
