For me it gives:

So: a pristine 19.04 runs it. My laptop (which is my work machine,
full of other packages & programs), does not.
Thank you both for testing.
So, to summarize:
whenever "inv-year" fails - it is a problem with glibc on your
setup, *not* a problem in coreutils' date(1) program.
If there is a setup where "inv-year" succeeds but date(1) still fails,
then it is a problem in coreutils.
I'm glad to hear latest Ubuntu 19.04 is working fine
(though the reason for the earlier failure is still a mystery).
As Paul suggested, trying 'strace' on the failing system
might reveal more details.
