This is documented behaviour:
https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/manual/html_node/General-date-syntax.html
"""
In the current implementation, only English is supported for words and
abbreviations like ‘AM’, ‘DST’, ‘EST’, ‘first’, ‘January’, ‘Sunday’,
‘tomorrow’, and ‘year’.
"""
The reason only mai / okt / des fail is that the other months match in English
/ Norwegian when considering the first three letters.
