The attached environ file has:
LANG=en.UTF-8

"en.UTF-8" is an invalid locale:
Bug 858591 - anaconda setting invalid system locale xx.UTF-8 not xx_YY.UTF-8
Comment 11 Martin Sivák 2012-10-17 12:12:39 UTC 
The traceback is all system-config-date..
Comment 12 Parag Nemade 2012-12-07 14:43:36 UTC 
I think this is fixed now.
Comment 13 Steve Tyler 2012-12-07 19:46:25 UTC 
This was fixed in system-config-date-1_9_68[1], although the changelog does not say so.

Verified with system-config-date-1_10_4 using:
$ LANG=en.UTF-8 system-config-date

Thanks.

Closing with resolution ERRATA.
