This ensures we do not attempt to parse non english locale dates
in FIPS mode. The error, originally assumed to affect only Joda,
affects Java time in the same manner and manifests only with the
version of BouncyCastle FIPS certified provider we use in tests.
The upstream issue https://github.com/bcgit/bc-java/issues/405
indicates that the behavior is resolved in later versions of the
BouncyCastle library and should be tested again when the new
versions become FIPS 140 certified
