It may be caused by a mis-feature of the wiki calendar recipe I released a
few years ago. Try putting this at the top of your local/config.php and
see if the problem goes away:

$DateSeparatorPattern = '[-.]';

The wikilog.php script contains this markup rule:

Markup('wdate','inline',
    "/([^_\/\)=]|^)(\d\d\d\d)($DateSeparatorPattern)(\d\d)\\3(\d\d)/e",
    "((IsDate('$2$4$5')) ? '$1'.longdate('$2$4$5') : '$0')");

Looking at this, it shouldn't cause the above problem, so maybe I'm not
the culprit, and there is another markup rule turning the date into a long
date.
