Yes, that's one actual problem that is not covered by everyday speech as it is in use today.
I think it would be very quickly solved by language evolution. E.g. we'd switch to something like "the evening on the 20th" or "the third day next week" (weeks are defined by the presence of weekends, just like they are today). But nonetheless it's a valid argument.
Edit: even today weekends cover multiple days. However you define a weekend now can probably be used to define a day in the global UTC system.
