  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
LC_TIME is set to fr_FR, that is latin1.
If LC_TIME is set to fr_FR.utf8, I cannot observe the problem anymore.

$ LC_TIME=fr_FR date -d 2015-02-07 +%b | hexdump -C
00000000  66 e9 76 72 2e 0a                                 |f.vr..|
00000006
$ LC_TIME=fr_FR.utf8 date -d 2015-02-07 +%b | hexdump -C
00000000  66 c3 a9 76 72 2e 0a                              |f..vr..|
00000007

  If you agree with me, I let you close the bug.
