mne-python: How to deal with anonymization if one of the dates slips out of range?

Working with the somato dataset, I ran into an issue related to the fact that the measurement date I’m intending to anonymize deviates from the date in info['file_id']['secs'] such that, when I reach the desired adjustment for the measurement date, info['file_id']['secs'] goes out-of-range (even though the measurement date would be within the valid range).

MWE:

import mne
import os.path as op
from datetime import datetime

data_path = mne.datasets.somato.data_path()
raw_fname = op.join(data_path, 'sub-01', 'meg', 'sub-01_task-somato_meg.fif')

raw = mne.io.read_raw_fif(raw_fname, verbose='error')
print(f"Date in info['meas_date']: {raw.info['meas_date']}")
print(f"Date in info['file_id']:   {datetime.fromtimestamp(raw.info['file_id']['secs'])}")

# Works
print('\nAnonymizing with daysback -> 10 years')
daysback = 10 * 365
raw_anon = raw.copy().anonymize(daysback=daysback)
print(f"Date in info['meas_date']: {raw_anon.info['meas_date']}")
print(f"Date in info['file_id']:   {datetime.fromtimestamp(raw_anon.info['file_id']['secs'])}")

# Does not work
print('\nAnonymizing with daysback -> 90 years')
daysback = 90 * 365
raw_anon = raw.copy().anonymize(daysback=daysback)
print(f"Date in info['meas_date']: {raw_anon.info['meas_date']}")
print(f"Date in info['file_id']:   {datetime.fromtimestamp(raw_anon.info['file_id']['secs'])}")

Output:

Date in info['meas_date']: 2007-07-05 11:17:11.172243+00:00
Date in info['file_id']:   1970-01-01 01:00:00

How shall I go about anonymizing this dataset? I want to use daysback large enough to move the measurement date before 1925, as is required by BIDS.
