a time/day/month shouldn't be marked as an adverb.  really, these should be [n-t] but that tag should just be dumped IMO

My understanding is that [n-adv] means a noun that also can be used as an adverb (without に).
The months are generally not used without に.
(In informal speech you can of course always drop particles).
So the months are not [n-adv].
Just my two cents.

We still need to decide whether all months should be tagged n or n-adv...

That is my understanding of the [n-t] tag as well.
If we need the tag at all is another question,
but that would be a topic for the mailing list.
The same could be asked about [n-adv].
Maybe just tagging words as [n], [adv], [n,adv] etc. would be simpler.

  Comments:
I feel like n-t (to the extent it's necessary) should maybe be reserved for entries expressing time that can (or must) be used without に, 
like 今日、あした, etc.. But our guidelines specify it as "時相名詞" and I don't know what that is exactly and google isn't very helpful.
