My point being, even if detailed calendar management is a bridge too far, I think giving a little superficial control (renaming months and eras) is still worth it in the mean time.

You Aussies need to get busy making campaign settings in the Southern Hemisphere.
I just may make my next setting, or at least major developed area in my current world, in the south just 'cause.
Last I heard, although I think it may have been a 'high-level version' was that much of the calendar was there just that the interface was.....lacking. Given that they haven't implemented it yet, I suspect there is a touch more to the story or that reworking the interface is going to involve serious head-banging (and not to heavy metal).
We'll see where the Calendars come on the survey and what they come up with when it comes up for dev cycles.
