Yes. This is by design; templates that are designed around wikitext's structure
won't work in general for editing. Note that "{{subst:CURRENTDAY}}
{{subst:CURRENTMONTHNAME}}" works fine; auto-inserting this would solve the
problem.

I agree; that is bug 51428 (and its corresponding implementation in
VisualEditor).
