 Since `date_i18n()` operates with "WordPress timestamp" which is summed up
 with time zone offset, it doesn't produce correct result for `B` format
 which doesn't vary with time zone.

 {{{#!php
 <?php
 var_dump( date( 'B' ), date_i18n( 'B' ) );
 // string(3) "692" string(3) "775"
 }}}

 Honestly with all the outstanding problems with the function it's more of
 a curiosity than urgent problem, but something that needs to be considered
 if it's ever fixed or replaced.
