I'm of the opinion that while its not an outright bug, FM should provide
a GetAsText function that respects the user's choice of using the file
or system settings.

If I were you, I would report it as a bug at

Yeah, on reconsideration, I will.

I initially felt it was important to have a function that could be
relied upon to return a consistent format for parsing reasons, but that
should be accomplishable with the UseSystemSettings script step and
GetAsText should respect that preference.

By the way, the issue also exists in FM5/6.
