Bug description:DateTime::construct inconsistent results with "first day of"

Description:
------------
When using "first day of" relative time formats, the constructor gives
inconsistent values for what ought to be the same. Results shown below
are all as of 2020-03-22 03:49:52.

Test script:
---------------
$month_start = new DateTime("first day of this month");
echo $month_start->format('Y-m-d H:i:s') . "\n";
$month_start = new DateTime("first day of March");
echo $month_start->format('Y-m-d H:i:s') . "\n";

Expected result:
----------------
2020-03-01 00:00:00
2020-03-01 00:00:00

or possibly

2020-03-01 03:49:52
2020-03-01 03:49:52


Actual result:
--------------
2020-03-01 03:49:52
