Public bug reported:

format_date() function uses undelying strftime function.

It is known that %e modifier is not supported. However when I use
format_date() function with the following formatkey 'strftimedatetime'
which translates to '%%d %%B %%Y, %%l:%%M %%p' (for English language)
the functon returns false.

According to http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12362179/why-does-
strftime-on-windows-returns-false-im-not-using-e the modifier %l is the
problematic one. If it is changed to %#I (under Windows) then it works
as expected...
