 Replying to [comment:20 gk]:
 > Arthur: There is a bugfix in #13019 claiming to fix this bug (looking at
 the commit message) which is quite confusing. Even more, it does not
 affect this bug at all. So what's up with that?

 Yes, I should have labeled the patch as #13019. I believe that patch does
 in fact fix the Date locale problem reported in this ticket, but it is
 confusing because the problem has nothing to do with the purpose of Greg's
 test. I propose closing this ticket as a duplicate of #13019, if you
 agree.

 > And how is #10284 related?

 That looks like another duplicate to me, in the sense that I believe it is
 fixed by the same patch.

 I have opened a ticket (#15299) for regression tests for this patch so we
 can be sure it's working.
