It's legal.

It's a bug that's been fixed in 3.1 and 3.2 for a bit. Please use recent
sources. I suggest trying the 3.1 release candidate.

Nathan's comments about throwing exceptions still applies: unformatted
input will work, but formatted input will require that non-required
locale facets be present. Thus, you'll have to imbue a locale that has
them in order for formatted input to work.
