In a spreadsheet with dates, formatting the date cells to display in ISO 8601
(2010-02-22) format causes the cells to not accept input in ISO 8601 form. 
Trying to input a date in this format will cause the cell to take on the date
value 1899-12-30.

With the cells displayed in other date formats I've tried (such as US standard
"11/30/2000" or long formats like "Tue, October 23, 2001"), I can still input a
date in ISO format as usual.  Note that I am not talking about issue 5556, I
don't particularly care how the date is displayed on the input line.  I am
talking about putting the cursor over the cell and typing in a whole new date,
or selecting all the text in the input line and writing over it with a new date.

This is a regression from 3.1.1.  I've also tried this on a Windows XP system
but it did not affect that setup.

Steps to reproduce:
1) Open a new Calc document.
2) Input a date into a cell as an ISO 8601 string, e.g. 2010-02-23.  The date
should default to display as 02/23/10, at least on en-US installations.
3) Select the cell with the date in it and "Format Cells".  Choose the "Date"
category and then the ISO 8601 format (displayed as "1999-12-31" in the dialog).
4) Place the bold cell-outline cursor over the cell with the date in it and type
a new date as an ISO 8601 string, say 2001-10-30.  Alternatively, select the
cell with the date in it and then select all text in the input line and type the
new date.
5) The cell will now display 1899-12-30.  Looking at the input line, you can
verify that the value for the date is indeed 12/30/1899.
