How reproducible: Log in using GDM and select gnome-shell session.
I am seeing the same thing after upgrading from F17 to F19 using FedUp. Gnome is unusable; I had to downgrade to Cinnamon. Mine is the "C" locale. To make gnome-shell start I modified dateMenu.js, changing this._clockDisplay.set_text(this._clock.clock); to this._clockDisplay.set_text(this._clock.clock || ''); but the result is no time display at all.
