No, they don't pass on a machine that has a default locale set to something non-english.
The problem is that the tests are assuming too much about the default locale.
For example, if you create a new SimpleDateFormat without providing a locale or a set of DateFormatSymbols then that SimpleDateFormat will use the default stuff. And then the test code assumes that it will get english month names but, for example in my case, it will get Estonian month names and it will fail.
I hope that clarified things up a bit?

What do you mean, "make the tests pass"? The tests, as written, already pass. Perhaps you are saying that the tests don't test everything they need to test. But you have not identified what those issues are.
If you come up with a test case that shows a problem, then the solution is to add the test and fix the code as necessary.
Or am I misunderstanding you?
