From the stack trace…

ParsoidBatchAPI extension: No recent commits.
ParserFunctions extension: Lots of recent commits
mediawiki: parser/CoreParserFunctions: No recent commits.
mediawiki: parser/DateFormatter: No recent commits.

The error is discovered at this line of code:

	private function makeIsoMonth( $monthName ) {
		$n = $this->xMonths[$this->lang->lc( $monthName )];
		return sprintf( '%02d', $n );
	}

This suggests something might be wrong with the populating of the xMonths array. I don't see anything obvious stand out, but my best guess is that somehow the refactoring in ParserExtensions may have caused some assumption about which Language is used, to no longer be true, and thus it can no longer find the month names.

It's probably just a change in the input text, not a change in the code. DateFormatter.php is obviously broken, line 260 calls makeIsoMonth() speculatively, and checks if the return value is false or "00", anticipating this error but not the notice that goes with it. $fail is set to true, but $bits['m'] is subsequently used anyway, even though it is unset. It's used to construct text that is subsequently thrown away at line 314, and then used again unconditionally at line 321.

The only ParserFunctions changes in wmf.24 are unit test refactoring and PHP entry point removal, so unrelated.

A significant amount of DateFormatter.php is unchanged since I introduced it in November 2003, including makeIsoMonth() and the check of its return value. It was one of the first things I wrote in PHP. I was developing with PHP notices disabled at the time. Code was often committed that emitted notices, we just had them disabled in production. It took a while for us to make it a development policy to not emit notices.

The notice on line 351 does indeed appear to be the fault of this code I wrote in 2003, so if this bug was a person, its voice would have broken by now. The notice from line 321 which I see is also in the logs appears to date from 2009.

The months are combined into a regex without preg_quote(), which wasn't quite so bad in the original commit, which only supported English and thus fairly well-known and well-behaved month names. Now that other language are supported, it becomes a problem, since for example German has "jun" => "Jun.". So the bug can be reproduced with:

$opts = new ParserOptions;
$opts->setTargetLanguage( Language::factory('de'));
print $wgParser->parse('{{#dateformat:4 june}}', Title::newMainPage(), $opts)->getText();

The input "june" matches /Jun./i but it is not in xMonths, so a notice results.
