There is no bug.

DateDisplayWidget expects an IBrowserRequest. Zope 2's request only 
pretends to be an IBrowserRequest. At the current state, it can't 
implement the whole interface.

That's a known issue, but we can't do anything about it, at least not in 
DateDisplayWidget (and numerous other places where request.locale is 
used). The problem's roots go deeper.
