the_time and get_the_date won't repeat

The codex says the_date() will not return anything after the first occurrence of posts with the same date. It says to use the_time() or get_the_date() if the date is wanted on every post. But that does not seem to work. the_time(‘d-M-y’) seems to work exactly like the_date() – it will return the first of similar dates, but does not return anything for duplicated dates.

Do I have to have a new query for every single post?
