That is because the en_CA locale's date order is YMD, not DMY. Probably
previously you were working in an en_US locale with date order MDY, for which
input of D-MMM-YY was accepted as expected as it is unambiguous. There's not
much we can do about. For ambiguous input the locale's date order takes
precedence over the applied format, as otherwise with an empty cell the user
has no hint of what the input should look like.

An unambiguous input in your case would be 11-May-2012 with four digit year.

The date I entered is only ambiguous in the absence of a format code.

If this is not a bug then it is a design flaw.  It would be a reasonable
assumption that if one wants to display dates in a given format then one would
also want to be able to enter dates in that format.  It would make more sense
to try to parse a date against the desired format and failing that, use the
locale's date order.

Which locale are you working in, and which locale is the date format chosen in?
And until recently exactly means what? It stopped working with
3.4.5.2-13.fc16?

I thought that this was caused by the latest Fedora update because of the
timing of the update and my noticing the problem but it wasn't.  It looks like
it is a locale issue.

Here are the steps to reproduce the behaviour:

1. Set the locale to English(Canada)
2. Go to Format|Cells and enter a format code of DD-MMM-YY
3. Type 11-May-12 and hit enter
4. Note that the date is parsed as 2011-05-12

The expected value is, of course, 2012-05-11.
