 Replying to [comment:31 gk]:

 > I think you misunderstood me. While testing I realized that you can
 infer the underlying OS if you just get an english date format back as the
 particular english date format used differs across OSes. This was somewhat
 surprising to me. Setting the pref above to `false` did not change that.

 Sorry, I did misunderstand. I've posted a ticket to keep us reminded of
 this issue: #15473
