Antti Haapala added the comment:
Alexander: that is true, because they are *separate* conversion flags.
However even the POSIX standard strptime has some leniency: '%m` and `%d`
accept the numbers *without* leading zeroes. This actually also means that one
cannot use `%Y%m%d` to detect an invalid ISO timestamp:
>>> datetime.datetime.strptime('111122', '%Y%m%d')
datetime.datetime(1111, 2, 2, 0, 0)
The `arrow` library depends on the supposed "strict" behaviour of strptime that
has never been guaranteed, which often results in very buggy behaviour under
some conditions.

(Also, it must be noted that GNU date program doesn't use these formats to
*parse* dates, and POSIX strptime in *C* library outright ignores any timezone
information)
