All you have to do is go to International preference pane and set the
settings on the tabs. I'm on a US English system too but got bug reports
from Japan and now Sweden about date related errors. See the original post
for definitely replicable issues.

What I'm concerned about is date object. I need reliable dummy dates to get
times, for instance, as in:
Set ds to "1/1/1000"
Set d to date ds
Set hour of ds to 7
Set minute of ds to 30
Then you have a date object that can be used in an AppleScript Studio date
picker when you're only interested in the time.
Or if you want the midnight to midnight date objects of a date, as in:
set cd to current date
set ds to date string of cd
set d to date ds
Then you get today's date at midnight.
These techniques fail with these Leopard bugs.
