That's a bug in the calendar app IMO. It's fully possible to make use of the locale in a more sensible way.

Personally I like that approach. It relies on the LC_TIME locale by default, which I think is important for those of us who don't want to redo the same kind of setting in multiple places. At the same time you can set it explicitly if you like.

There is another bug on this topic, so I mark this report as duplicate.
