A closer look at the email and I noticed they'd listed the "present flight schedule" as June, 2014.

I took a look at my original e-ticket notification and it correctly gave the June, 2015 date. No idea what wheels went 'round and 'round to make up that email but considering they needed to tell several hundred people, I'd have to blame a machine, not a human typist.
Exactly the same here for 2015 Singapore flights. Two flights had a time change of 1 year and 10 minutes and another 1 year and 15 minutes. It's a small issue but one that makes you fret, "if they get this wrong ...."
