Those long date separators are a bit tricky, they are used in parsing
dates, alas not always consistently and now with the genitive/partitive
month names even more, something that needs to be reworked. Only a very
few rudimentary field display methods use those separators to construct
a date string. With the exception of LongDateDayOfWeekSeparator that is
used in the NNNN format code of the number formatter.

To get "de" between month and year in number formats, the format code
has to state this. For your example that uses

NN, D, MMMM YYYY
or
NNNND, MMMM YYYY
or
NNNNDD, MMMM YYYY

these would have to be changed to

NN, D, MMMM "de" YYYY
and
NNNND, MMMM "de" YYYY
and
NNNNDD, MMMM "de" YYYY

Stripped again, seems this list is setup such.
