--- Comment #1 from Eike Rathke <erack at redhat.com> ---
Seems the empty string is eliminated while saving the format description and
that ends up as

      <number:month number:style="long"/>
      <number:month number:textual="true"/>

i.e. two consecutive month elements for MM and MMM which when read in correctly
form MMMMM.

Workaround: use U+200B ZERO WIDTH SPACE, ZWSP in your quotes.
This looks the same
YYYY-MM"​"MMM-DDNN
but if you copy-paste it and travel through with the cursor you'll notice one
extra character where the cursor does not move.

that is saved and preserved when loaded:

      <number:month number:style="long"/>
      <number:text><200b></number:text>
      <number:month number:textual="true"/>
