fdo#56554 - a second opinion is needed

Hi,

Regarding fdo#56554 <https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=56554>,
where the date in Hebrew is showed weird due to an hyphen which is part of
the date. I can fix the problem easily by removing the hyphen (verified on
a private build), but I think there's a bigger problem out there.
Especially when exporting the file to HTML (see example as part of the bug
report).

While fixing my own problem for Hebrew users, I think we'll lose an
opportunity to find the deeper problem by removing the symptom. So here is
where I need your opinion - to fix or not to fix (:
