I have exactly the same problem setting up the user!

The problem is the constant DateFormatSymbols.patternChars doesn't contain the
character "t".

I've been hit by this problem on debian testing (squeeze), too.
It is caused by
 webical-core/src/main/java/org/webical/web/component/settings/UserSettingsForm.java:117
> SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy", getLocale());
>                birthDateTextField = (DateTextField) new 
DateTextField(BIRTHDATE_TEXTFIELD_MARKUP_ID, new PropertyModel(user, 
"birthDate"), sdf.toLocalizedPattern()).setRequired(true);

as sdf.toLocalizedPattern returns a string unparseable for SimpleDateFormat.

It solution for me was to explicitly start the tomcat instance with LC_ALL=C,
that is
  root> export LC_ALL=C
  root> service tomcat6 restart
.
