American dates assumed when using a date picker, even when specified otherwise

Hi,

Got an annoying problem with the validation station.
I have a date field, with format set like so in the taxonomy:

However, should that need to be changed, then when a user selects the item to change it to, it is still converted to American:

This does not happen if the date is written unambiguously:

Is there some way to enforce the region such that it doesn’t assume American dates?
