Strange. It is working for me with calibre 5.4. I will update later to 5.5 and see if it makes a difference.

When applying templates to date columns the formatting depends on the formatting value of the date column itself. So, make the template "program: today()" and modify the formatting in your column (preferences > add you own columns > double click on column > format for dates).
If you are applying the template to a text column, I tried your example and it returns the month correctly. (see screens)
If you want a pre-defined value that evaluates to current time, there is a checkbox for that, you can use templates but you don't need to. But make sure you have the latest version, because there was a glitch earlier. (see screenshot).
Also whenever you hardcode a date value into a date column (does not matter for text columns) using a template, it is better to use a format that will not confuse parse_date (because sometimes it confuses months with days). So use 12-nov-2011 instead of 12-11-2011. (and the formatting will follow your column value as explained above)
