You've written this:

(setq diary-date-forms
      '((month "/" day "[^/0-9]")
        (month "/" day "/" year "[^0-9]")
        (monthname " *" day "[^,0-9]")
        (monthname " *" day ", *" year "[^0-9]")
        (dayname "\\W")
        (dayname ", *" monthname " *" day ", *" year "[^0-9]")))

where the last line is the pattern you added.

The string "Thu, Apr 5, 2007" also matches the pattern in the previous
line, ie (dayname "\\W"). This pattern gets applied before yours does.
So move your pattern earlier in the diary-date-forms list (at the
start is probably best).
