Translation is failing with upcase flag

[bmfreitas]

According to the standard lib, the flag ^ should upcase the result string, so considering the following setup:

pt-BR:
  date:
    formats:
      default: "%B %d, %Y"
    month_names: [~, Janeiro, Fevereiro, Março, Abril, Maio, Junho, Julho, Agosto, Setembro, Outubro, Novembro, Dezembro]

The statement I18n.l '6/7/2015'.to_date results in Julho 06, 2015, which is OK.

Now, considering the following setup:

pt-BR:
  date:
    formats:
      default: "%^B %d, %Y"
    month_names: [~, Janeiro, Fevereiro, Março, Abril, Maio, Junho, Julho, Agosto, Setembro, Outubro, Novembro, Dezembro]

The statement I18n.l '6/7/2015'.to_date results in JULY 06, 2015.

Note that the flag ^ was properly applied (upcase), but the translation failed, as it should be JULHO.

Am I missing something?
