I don't think it is a bug. Firebird supports the SQL standard
ISO-8601(-ish) format for date and time, and in addition it supports a
number of conversions that are supported by the platform (and may depend
on regional settings). This means that except for the format mandated by
the SQL standard, you shouldn't expect anything else (and everything
else that does work is nice to have).

The format in your initial question BTW as "10:00:00 a.m. ", even on
Windows I suspect this will fail if your locale is set to a 24 hour
clock (but I haven't tried).

Did you create a ticket in the tracker? Otherwise nothing is going to
happen.
