On cck field settings I have fill default values "Custom value for From date" and "Custom value for To date" with data:

Custom value for From date: first day of previous month 00:00:00

Custom value for To date: last day of previous month 23:59:59

And when I try to save, it didn't save with errors:

  • The Strtotime default value is invalid.
  • The Strtotime default value for the To Date is invalid.

But in PHP with strtotime function all works normally:

$date_start=strtotime('first day of previous month 00:00:00');
$date_end=strtotime('last day of previous month 23:59:59');
echo date('r',$date_start)."\n".date('r',$date_end)."\n";

outputs:

Sun, 01 Aug 2010 00:00:00 +0400
Tue, 31 Aug 2010 23:59:59 +0400

Why date module didn't accepts this strings?

This is by design in the current version of date, but there is another feature request to implement this:
