org-read-date calls org-read-date-analyze which does not recognize
this as any kind of time string format it knows about (all the regexps
it tries fail to match), so it calls parse-time-string. Lo and behold,

(parse-time-string "Kommt am 27.10.2012 um 14:00 zum")

returns

(0 0 14 27 nil 2010 nil nil nil)

org-read-date does fine with "Kommt am 2012-10-27 um 14:00 zum",
because parse-time-string can figure out the iso date, even
though it cannot figure out the dotted european one:

(parse-time-string "Kommt am 2012-10-27 um 14:00 zum")

returns

(0 0 14 27 10 2012 nil nil nil)
