If it is impossible or undesirable to use strftime() instead of
g_date_time_format() in the rendering, then this bug is a documentation issue.
The summary for the custom-time-format field in the dconf-editor clearly states
that strftime() is used.
"Summary: The format string passed to strftime"
The description should be revised as well:
"Description: The format of the time and/or date that is visible on the panel
when using
the indicator. For most users this will be a set of
predefined values as
determined by the configuration utility, but advanced
users can change it
to anything strftime can accept. Look at the man
page on strftime for
more information."
But I hope it is possible to change the indicator-datetime code to use
strftime(), simply because that function does the job already and no
upstream fix would be required.
