Probably handling TDate as TDateTime in FPC is adding:

operator :=(const source : TDate) dest : variant;{$ifdef 
SYSTEMINLINE}inline;{$endif}
   begin
     VariantManager.VarFromTDateTime(Dest, TDateTime(Source));
   end;

in case of Delphi (at least 7) TDate is defined in Controls, so Variants 
cann't depend on Controls.TDate ...
