In case of any confusion, I think this should be configurable as

Any reason it can't be configured to use ISO 8601?
That is really a separate question: ISO 8601 actually defines a whole
set of date/time formats, and allows any fraction of a second you want,
or none, or even omitting the seconds completely.
My main point is that I don't think it's necessary to complicate the
error handling routines with handling for arbitrary user-supplied date
formats; a single on/off ini setting would be a single if statement in
the C code, and only two possibilities that tools would need to parse if
they wanted to support both run-time modes.
I guess we could have the setting be "use new date format", and control
both the precision and whether the format is ISO 8601 compliant, but I'm
not convinced of the value.
