Right, we use our own routines for formatting the dates, and not
strftime. And it probably should stay that way in general, as git's
output is often meant to be parsed.
That being said, I do not think it would be wrong to have a date-mode
that just showed strftime("%c"), or some other arbitrary strftime
string. You could then set log.date as appropriate for human
consumption.

Correct. The documentation says:
--date-order
Show no parents before all of its children are shown, but otherwise
show commits in the commit timestamp order.
In your example, one commit is the parent of the other, so it hits the
first part of the sentence, and the dates are never even compared.
There is not a simple way to show commits in arbitrary order without
respect to parentage. I think you'd have to do something like:
git log --format='%at %H' |
sort -rn |
cut -d' ' -f2 |
git log --stdin --no-walk
-Peff
