Follow up - was pointed to https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8211985 on
twitter - and this does indeed seem to be the same locale related issue.

Changing my code to call:

withLocale(Locale.ENGLISH).format(instant)


and setting the locate explicitly yields the desired results - and runs the
same across 8/18 - which means I can alter the underly code separate to any
JDK rework I’m doing.

And now… for easter eggs.
