Failed while delivering a message to a service instance error

I received a quite a lot “failed while delivering a message to a service
instance” yesterday in production right after midnight. The error further
down mentions the exact reason that string was not recognised as a valid
DateTime. I’ve verified and all the date fields in the message itself are ok.
The trace shows that the error was returned from the following BTS method:

BTXService.HandleSpecialMessage(IBTMessage msg)

Any ideas why this could be happening? Exception message:
