Actually, we do agree. I cannot understand the "least significant unit in the
middle" date format. Do those users have their clocks set to HH:SS:MM as well?

With  this in mind, I agree that the "Default Format" should not necessarily be
the format that the spreadsheet was created in. Rather, the "Default Format"
should be the preferred format configured for the user (or, lacking that, the
format configured for the user's locale). Therefore, this bug may depend upon
bug 5556 (date format in the formula bar not matching that which is set for the
OS - unexpected behaviour) and bug 72229(add an option to configure the date
format - feature request).
