UpdateStrategy constructs and then caches a NumberFormat at the class level.  In environments where multiple users are on the same VM and classloader the Locale could be incorrect for users.

To resolve this we need a root context object.
Are we willing to have such an object?

I'm not sure I follow...  

The way that I was thinking of fixing this was to just create a new formatter retrieving the Locale for every invocation.  We could cache formatters per Locale if necessary.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
