I thought so as well, but that "seems" correct. I've never changed those. Not sure if a screen shot will get through, but under the Formats tab, dates and times are setup like this:
Dates:
Thursday January, 5 2012
January 5, 2012
Jan. 5 2012
1/5/12
Times:
12:34 AM 4:56 PM
To add to this mystery, I have an old build of my app that displays the date/time string in my expected format, i.e.,
Friday April 20, 2012 7:19 AM.
