I think that you hit the problem with the stable sort in Chrome :). This problem is fixed with the Q2 2012 SP1 release of the Kendo UI.

I believe the Kendo UI Charts are looking for a unix time stamp. Try formatting a couple of your values as a time stamp and then using a template to format the date like this:

categoryAxis: {
    labels: {
        template: "#= formatDate(value) #"
    }
}

The formatDate will be a function that you define that can produce the string you want displayed in the axis.

I think this approach will allow kendo to order your dates correctly AND give you the format you are looking for.
