The Final Accepted Text in Austin Group bug 258 contains:
"alt_mon Define the full month names, corresponding to the %OB conversion
specification. [...] For languages having both a genitive (when used with a day
number) and a nominative (no day number) case, this operand shall be used to
denote the nominative case."

The FreeBSD strftime(3) page says: "Additionally %OB implemented to represent
alternative months names (used standalone, without day mentioned)." I believe
this means the nominative case.

So %OB retrieves the nominative case in both of them; I don't see any conflict.
The same could be implemented in glibc.
