Now I'm confused.

The language packs provide basically translations for packages in 
"main", i.e. packages included in the standard Ubuntu distribution, 
which is Unity in Ubuntu 16.04. In 16.04 the translations for 
gnome-shell are shipped with the gnome-shell package, not with the 
language packs. So the proper way to test the language packs for Xenial 
is to use standard Ubuntu 16.04, not Ubuntu GNOME.

Hence, if it was Ubuntu GNOME you tested with, we can be pretty sure 
that the clock format issue has nothing to do with the new language packs.
