Comment (by getsnoopy):

 I see now that my phrasing could've been better. By "non-US English
 locales", I meant "non-US, English locales"; i.e., non en-US English
 locales, so these would be en-GB, en-AU, en-NZ, en-ZA, and en-CA. It seems
 like the translated versions of those formats in those locales are
 incorrect.

 But I also now realize that the default format should be changed as well,
 since en-US is the only locale that uses "F j, Y" as the date format,
 while basically every other locale/country use the long-form international
 DMY date format "j F Y" (RFC 2822) or the numerical international DMY date
 formats "Y-m-d" (ISO 8601) or "d/m/Y". The "F j, Y" format can be added to
 just the en-US locale.
