I'm sorry for that line, it was ambiguous. I meant to indent it for
clarity, not to represent how it's indented in my file.

I have found the culprit though.

This works:
%%(diary-anniversary 12 30 1984) Arthur Dent is %d years
                     ^   ^   ^
                     M   D   Y
This doesn't:
%%(diary-anniversary 30 12 1984) Arthur Dent is %d years
                     ^   ^   ^
                     D   M   Y

This isn't affected by any locale setting on my end.

I tried en_GB, de_DE and en_US and it will always choose the US M/D/Y
format in the org-mode file. That runs counter to the documentation
example cited above, so does anyone else see that?
