Date line yes, new years day no.
It works like this,
it's about 00:15 on March 1st on a non-leapyear year, and a cruise ship in the Pacific has a lady about to pop out a young'un. She gives birth to a bawlin baby #1. A few minutes later, the ship crosses the international date line. It's now about 23:40 of Feb 28th, and out pops screamer #2.
End result is that on a leap year, baby number 1 celebrates his birthday on the usual March 1st, but baby number 2 celebrates his birthday two days earlier.
