Bug Description
I've actually noticed this for some time and decided to file a bug report in hopes of getting this fixed by 16.04 (or sooner).
In the standard GNOME desktop (with US/EN locale set) the date in the clock displays day of week, day of month, month before the time rather than day of week, month, day of month - eg; Mon 13 Apr, 8:06 PM rather than Mon Apr 13, 8:06 PM.
The proper format is used both in the screen-lock and the Date & Time settings dialog (see screenshot).
This also effects the clock applet in gnome-panel as of Vivid, possibly it's now following g-s-d rather than u-s-d?

the string in the panel comes from gnome-desktop I believe. The other strings, calendar widget, lockscreen etc are formatted by gnome-shell.
