So, it seems the root is that Japan uses ISO dating typically, even handwritten, and the new default uses not ISO, and there's no GUI option to set it as such. Not so much a bug as a design choice.

Instead, they're displayed weirdly as "5月 4 2018" This is not the way a date would ever be written in Japanese. In gnome this happens on the lock screen as well. If you were writing a date without the year it would be: 5月4日 it doesn't make sense to leave off the 日.
