Is sort -M (month comparison) broken on Gentoo, or am I just missing something?

Code:

scholars root # cat test
DEC
JAN
AUG
JUL

Code:

scholars root # /usr/bin/sort --version
sort (coreutils) 5.2.1
Written by Mike Haertel and Paul Eggert.
[...snip...]

scholars root # cat test | /usr/bin/sort -M
AUG
DEC
JAN
JUL

But if I use sort, pulled from a Debian box

Code:

scholars root # /usr/local/bin/sort --version
sort (GNU textutils) 2.0
Written by Mike Haertel.
[...snip...]

scholars root # cat test | /usr/local/bin/sort -M
JAN
JUL
AUG
DEC

While the versions and package (coreutils vs. textutils) differ, man sort on Gentoo documents that -M should work.

Mark.
