I don't think this would be considered a bug by MS. The values the programmer provides are independent of regional settings. For instance, if I separate decimals with a comma instead of a point (the norm in most of S.America, I think), the programmer still has to provide values with points for decimal.
If you get values from the user, you can convert to monetary with ntom().
