Problem with format of DateTime parameter

I am in Australia.
Our machines have an Australian/English locale which as a date order of
Day/Month/Year.
I am using SQL RS 2005.
When I add a parameter of type DateTime and then preview the report a
strange thing happens.
* Use an Australian machine locale
* Create a dataset with no SQL. The dataset is just
SELECT @.MyDateParm
* Create a simple layout that uses this dataset
* Preview the report. You should get the nice date selection dialog.
* Select 1st December 2005
* View the report - It switches magically to 12th January 2005
* View again - it switches back etc..
Now what is going on here?

(I know my likely solution is to move to the USA - or at least change
my locale :)Has anyone ever encountered this problem?
I think it is a bug in RS2005.
Does anyone know how I could report this?
Thanks
