Yes, it looks like that test is too picky, since Bug#48085 is about 
parse_datetime failing rather than about a particular value. Although I 
could not reproduce the test failure on either Fedora 41 or Ubuntu 24.10 
I installed the attached patch, which I hope fixes things for the 
coreutils CI (for which I don't know the build+run environment).
