I have to admit I have never looked into it at the code level.  I am
probably mistaken in making an assumption of such support from reading
the "mon" description in TR 14652.

TR 14652
http://www.open-std.org/JTC1/SC22/WG20/docs/n972-14652ft.pdf

states:

mon

Define the full month names, to be referenced by the %B field
descriptor. The operand consists of twelve or thirteen semicolon-
separated strings. The first string is the full name of the first month
of the year (January), the second the full name of the second month,
and so on.

I have not had occasion to create a locale with 13 months (yet), but I
had thought it would be supported, my bad.
