The expired sensor is a formatted string. It would be better/best if it is an actual datetime type sensor. It can then be formatted according to the user's preferences and can be used more easily in calculations.

Compare with the time_date sensor:

Agreed. Do you know where the default datetime sensor type and/or format is defined?

Edit: disregard that, already found it.

This is fixed in the latest release of the RDW platform (v2.9.0). I've just pushed it to the github repository.
