The issue here is that GnuCash can't handle short dates which have weekdays in them. There 
is a bug [1] still open for this.

The only workaround currently is to avoid such date format in GnuCash. If you only want to 
avoid it in GnuCash without changing your preferred system locale, you can explicitly choose a 
date format for GnuCash via Edit->Preferences->Date & Time.
