Confirmed on Linux too, having a look now.

But it's not a bug. The S parameter uses the current day-of-the month to generate the suffix (with the 'j' parameter), and not the day-of-the-year value.

From http://php.net/date:
S	English ordinal suffix for the day of the month, 2 characters	 st, nd, rd or th. Works well with j
