I do not know what version your info reference is but my latest git-versions info page documents the usage of 2/5 date format.
(info "(org) The date/time prompt") Then the info page is wrong and the docstring to `org-read-date' states: "The prompt will suggest to enter an ISO date, but you can also enter anything which will at least partially be understood by `parse-time-string'." What `parse-time-string' understands I can not find well documented and it may be a bug or something there but who knows where its behavior is documented? (I get the same wrong result in my date prompt when trying 5/21.
