It seems to work well using "GGGG" instead of "G". Is this an expected behavior?

Should this really be closed as "Not an Issue"? Shouldn't it be kept open until the issue fixed in JDK or the update version of CLDR provider integrated to?

Currently for the placeholder, only COMPAT locale provider is modified to include the names for the new era, that leaves CLDR provider not providing the new era placeholder names. So, the names are coming from COMPAT provider, where the short form is 'N'.
