hmmm… there's definitely a bug somewhere here. can you file an issue at issues.alfresco.com please?

as a workaround, i think it's because of a discrepancy in country definitions in locales being passed to alfresco. is your browser's locale set to en_UK? if so, perhaps try changing the Languages definition in web-client-config.xml from en_US to en_UK.
