There is an apparent misconception on the purpose of the locale-specific time
formats here. They aren't supposed to be an exact copy of the C locale, but to
implement the existing natural language conventions. Please refer to the
rationale for the C standard (complete with using Roman numerals in date
abbreviations, by the way).
Depending on unreasonable assumptions about a locale (endianness of the date
format, format widths, existence of am_pm, etc.) is simply a bug. Such a bug
should usually be trivial to fix, with an immediate benefit to users of other
locales, as well.
