1.7.13 version ICU date and time EEEE format problem and missing MMMM

Not sure, if it happened on previous version, but the last version 1.7.13, MacOs version is showing short day of week (T) instead of long one (Tuesday) when selecting EEEE format in ICU date and time
Also, it is missing long month name (MMMM). Both are solved by text field, but as EEEE format exists, but returns wrong value.

I am on 1.7.13 on Windows and just had a look. The standalone is EEEEE (5*E) which is correct for first letter: Formatting Dates and Times | ICU Documentation
It is annoying that you can only choose from a limited subset and not enter any ICU format or construct your own. I know that none of them offer anything I can use to construct any date based field I would use. Missing things like a standalone dd, for example.
I know you can construct a custom format with the basic date or text field but that does not let you choose time source.
Saying that though, it is the same in the Good Lock clock maker on the phone so maybe it is a ridiculously tight a phone software constraint rather than SWF specifically.
