If I were you I would just forget about the setting for the menu bar clock.  I agree it's weird that it even exists (file a bug) but it's clearly meant only for the menu bar clock.  Just use NSDateFormatter and add some UI in your app showing the user the proper place to set her preferred date/time format options.

Cheers,
