I'm afraid I can't reproduce this here. Also in my case, I have to  
enter the month first. But perhaps it's related to my answer to the  
following question.

The format is not in my control. I use the DatePicker object, which  
the system handles. The way dates appear in it is set in System  
Preferences -> International -> Format.
What is the Region setting there in your case? Do your problems go  
away if you set the Region to United States?
