Via the PHP caveats on strftime (non-)portability[1] that specifically
mentioned %T and %R on Windows, I also found that %e and %D crash Vim.
This seems to just be due to bad strftime() error-handling
characteristics. '%0', '%.', and '%-' also crash it (probably any
invalid format specifiers).
Full list of valid format specifiers for the strftime provided by Visual
Studio 2010 is at [2], if it's useful for debugging.
