It looks like todo-mode.el is basically incompatible with any
calendar-date-style but 'american'.

(Btw, you aren't supposed to set calendar-date-style directly.  But
going through the Customize interface, as you are supposed to, doesn't
help in this case, because the relevant todo-mode patterns are
defconst's.)
