I assume this is just another of the bugs specific to the Mac beta, right?
<mx:DateField id="date" selectedDate="{model.inventory_date}"
change="{inventoryDetailsViewHelper.getAvailabilityNote()}"
formatString="DDMMMYYYY" />the format prints as, for example for Jan 2, 2007: 0102022007 when it should be 01Jan2007
