This is a regression - N7.0RTM builds doesn't has this problem.

Nominate as nsbeta1.

Comment 2

N7.0RTM: charset is marked as UTF-8, display OK.
09-16 trunk build: charset is marked as default charset, display as "?" with
UTF-8, and if default charset is match with OS langauge, e.g. set big5 on
TradChinese win2000, then will display fine.

Changing the browser global default charset to match with the system (client)
will have the date displayed correctly.

please consider taking this for the build for bug 168047. This is a very safe
