  Updating the summary to reflect that double cast is being done.
I can understand why CAST('HH:MM:SS' as datetime) returns a bad date, since MySQL will (in my opinion wrongly) try to extract MM-DD-YY format from the input string.
However, when an explicit CAST to TIME is given, even for column references, MySQL returns the wrong result.
CREATE TABLE t1 (f1 time, f2 time);
insert into t1 values ('09:00:00','12:00:00');
mysql> select f1, f2, cast(f1 as datetime), cast(cast(f1 as TIME) as datetime) from t1;
+----------+----------+----------------------+------------------------------------+
| f1       | f2       | cast(f1 as datetime) | cast(cast(f1 as TIME) as datetime) |
+----------+----------+----------------------+------------------------------------+
| 09:00:00 | 12:00:00 | 0000-00-00 09:00:00  | 2009-00-00 00:00:00                |

  To whom it may concern, 
This is what we have in MySQL 5.6:

Same bug is present in 5.5.33 though.

I do not know the exact revision that fixed it, I guess somebody should run bzrfind.

  http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=69352 I think this bug is the same reason like my report one.

  5.6.4 added Fractional Seconds Handling, and I think that worklog also added standard-compliant cast of TIME to DATETIME.

  Fixed revno:3402.30.1

Description: Casting of a TIME value to DATETIME treats the time as a string, resulting in a wrong DATETIME without the TIME portion set. How to repeat: mysql> select cast(cast('21:00:00' as time) as datetime); +--------------------------------------------+ | cast(cast('21:00:00' as time) as datetime) | +--------------------------------------------+ | 2021-00-00 00:00:00 | +--------------------------------------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) Suggested fix: CAST to DATETIME from a TIME should yield: 0000-00-00 HH:MI:SS, where 'HH:MI:SS' in the input TIME value in the CAST.
