the .pot file is using the same string for "may" for the short and long month abbreviations. But that's a problem for translators, because "May" is normally longer in other languages and has a different abbreviation, for example for italian you have "Maggio" and the abbreviation "Mag".

How is it handled in core? The month names are translated there.

This is fixed in Drupal 6 with http://drupal.org/node/273130. I'm not sure there's a solution for earlier versions (even in core).

If someone becomes aware of a way to fix this in D5, you can post a new issue (it will be the 5.2 version, not the 5.1 version, though).
