This is the intended behaviour as far as I know since signatures are substituted on the page. If those would abide the date preferences, a multi language wiki (or in just any wiki that allows and has users changing date format) signatures would be messed up.

The signatures follow the site date format (set in DefaultSettings.php if I recall correctly, can be changes by overwriting in LocalSettings.php for the entire wiki)

The user preference dataformat is for dynamic timestamps coming from the database. Such as on [[Special:RecentChanges]], (diff)-views, page histories, watchlist etc.

In the screenshot you see in the #footer the date format also changes.

Changing all WONTFIX high priority bugs to lowest priority (no mail should be generated since I turned it off for this.)
