It should be fixed in commit 
https://gitlab.com/gambas/gambas/-/commit/93659c3f7eab356b922d5be161990bf888fb3fd8.

Now Str() on dates returns something that Val() and IsDate() can understand.

A function that could be named "Date.FromString()" should be made for 
understanding any local date in any format. Val() and IsDate() cannot be 
made clever enough for that, too complex!
