date format not always respected in profile when in Edit mode for drupal user

Let us say that the default date setting for your site is set to something other than mm/dd/yyyy.

If you create a custom date field and include it as a "View Only" field in a profile that has 'Used For' set to View/Edit Drupal User Account then when you access the profile to edit other information in it, the default date format is not respected and the date is displayed as mm/dd/yyyy.

The default date format is respected if you are just viewing the profile on you drupal user screen.

dd/mm/yyyy is probably the default date format that causes the most confusion with this bug as the attached two screen shots illustrate. The date was 8 February 2015, but people would not know whether it was that or 2 August 2015.

I have observed this behaviour on our own 4.4.11 drupal site and confirmed the bug still exists on the 4.5.6 and (currently) 4.6.alpha 6 demo sites.
