It consistently converts it initially by parseExpiryInput (in
Special:CentralAuth) and then stores it in TS_MW format by
Block::encodeExpiry before writing to the database.

translateBlockExpiry() and timeanddate() are different things. First can
be used only on raw expiries which are entered by users. We store them
only in logs. The second one is used to output time when the block will
expire (that's the only time we have in globalblock table). So I can't
see any inconsistency there.

Did you mean drop-down list for block expiry? There was an input box for
the expiry.

It doesn't. GlobalBlocking blocks IPs, CentralAuthBlock blocks SUL accounts.
