} setlocale() failed so old value (is_IS.ISO8859-1) remains in effect.

In more detail, what's happening is that the variable is no longer in
the environment, so it's not inherited by "date", even though zsh is
still using the previous local.

However, the deeper problem is that is_IS.ISO8859-1 is probably the
wrong value in the first place.  I found it by tab-completing thus:

zsh% LANG=IS<TAB>

but on a closer look there are a whole lot of possible alternatives.
I'm guessing that perhaps one of de_AT.iso88591 or de_DE.iso88591 is
more correct, but you should look through the list yourself.
