Additional comments
Changing the date format of custom field via DATE_FORMAT_CALENDAR_DATE to the dutch format (dd-mm-yyyy) results in incorrect dates after saving.
E.g. 06-06-2006 results in 20-06-2006

It was fixed by changing all the DATE_FORMAT_* language strings. It is unsure with one actually solved the issue.

The strings in question are the following
joomla-cms/language/en-GB/en-GB.ini
Lines 325 to 328 in c396b5c
It is mandatory that the CALENDAR one matches the FILTER one. They need to refer to the same format, but with different notations. Otherwise it is expected to fail.
I'm closing this issue since it apparently worked once the corresponding string was changed as well.
