Personally, I'd be tempted to tell the publisher to wait a week. But then I've never published professionally, and probably never will, and it's probably not a terribly good idea to piss publishers off.
I believe there were other knock-on events, like scheduling, advertising campaigns, all sorts of bizarre publishery things that are important and interdependent and can't be shifted by a week. I think the book is to be ready for production by beginning of May or it waits till November (which also knocks the schedule around).
