Should I open a bug report, or has the problem been noted?
it's not clear without reading the standard whether the bug is in the
old or new version.
have you tried other systems? In particular I'd check OSX
Did some research, opened a PR against 11.0-BETA3:
[Bug 211598]
date(1) default format in en_EN locale breaks compatibility with 10.3
and violates POSIX

if it IS a bug then yes, file a report with full reproduction steps.

Is it normal/expected/documented that the date(1) command in 11.0

one of those is a bug. the formats are defined in posix I believe.
Setting LC_TIME does not help:
$LC_TIME="C" date
Thursday, August 4, 2016 at 01:13:37 AM CEST
although LC_ALL="C" _does_ help.
This is funny too, especially regarding commas:
$ LC_ALL="en_GB.UTF-8" date
Thursday 4 August 2016 at 01:16:45 CEST
$ LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8" date
Thursday, August 4, 2016 at 01:16:54 AM CEST
The date(1) man page states:
The date utility is expected to be compatible with IEEE Std 1003.2
(“POSIX.2”).
What does POSIX.2 say about date(1) following a locale?
