A serious question that sounds silly: Does anyone else follow that
convention?  Is that week number format documented anywhere?  If so
then GNU date could be enhanced to provide this information.  But if
that convention isn't used very widely then it probably isn't worth
the effort.

Human date calculations have always been problematic.

Since date is behaving as documented and this doesn't seem like a bug,
to keep things tidy in the bug tracker I will close the bug ticket.
