What this says to me is that
DateFormat.getTimeInstance(int, Locale) is buggy in
that the full/long time formatting pattern is at least
partially dependent upon the default Locale even when
the Locale is specified explicitly by the method
signature.  MF is explicit enough about its
implementation details that EMF has inherited the
behavior, which is probably for the best, all things
considered.  I think your fix is fine here.
