The value '2012-02-20' isn't a date, it's a character string. The subtraction is triggering an implicit CAST to integer, attempting to do what
you meant (though it would probably be better to just throw an error).
Use the proper constant format DATE'2012-02-20'.
Or explicitly CAST('2012-02-20' as DATE FORMAT 'YYYY-MM-DD').
