Comment:

 It seems this is coming from the `date_format` being set to `j \d\e F \d\e
 Y` (This is likely coming from a GlotPress translated string)

 That's then escaped to `"dateFormat":"j \\d\\e F \\d\\e Y"` when output as
 part of `o2` settings, and it's then converted over to Moment.js date
 format in
 https://github.com/Automattic/o2/blob/master/js/utils/timestamp.js

 It looks like the above o2 code doesn't handle escaped characters. I've
 filed an upstream issue: https://github.com/Automattic/o2/issues/226
