It's quite obviously. Let's try the last substitution
argument in plain shell:

	% date +%d
	05

But the command creates this:

	 Su  Mo  Tu  We  Th  Fr  Sa
	  1   2   3   4   5   6   7

The leading zero is missing, so there's no substition that
changes "5" into "[5]", because the search pattern is "05".
