Is it a bug?
PS:
[new Date('1 JAN2008'), new Date('2008 JAN1')]; works fine on

I don't think the ECMAScript specification is detailed enough to tell
which formats should be accepted by new Date("stringwithdate"). It
delegates the parsing to the parse method but its specification then
does not tell much about the formats to be accepted or rejected.
