Not really a bug - parse is trying to work out what to do with your input.

It's worked out that there is a 3, a 1, and a 10. It makes a best guess that 
this is some crazy form of 3/1/10 and using your dmy order (which is mdy in the 
US) says "Ok, it's the 1st of March 2010".

In other words - it's actually working remarkably well given the crazy input!
