I'm confused. The left outlet of [command] outputs the exit code of the
command, not the stdout of it. The middle inlet is supposed to output
the stdout of the command.

As I tried to explain previously, this is expected behavior in Pd land.
If you want to preserve the exact output, use the -b flag and convert
the result to a symbol with [list tosymbol]:

[exec date +%S%M%H%m%d(
|
[command]
    |               <- middle outlet
    [list tosymbol]
    |
    [print]

Gives me: symbol 4416220201

Note:
If your [command] outputs stdout on the left, then you're using a
unreleased beta version of [command] that probably even hasn't the -b
flag implemented. However, only the released version v0.1 is available
through Deken.
