The CLDR has:

	<calendar type="gregorian">
		<months>
			<monthContext type="format">

					...

				<monthWidth type="wide">
					<month type="1">января</month>
					<month type="2">февраля</month>
					<month type="3">марта</month>
					<month type="4">апреля</month>
					<month type="5">мая</month>
					<month type="6">июня</month>
					<month type="7">июля</month>
					<month type="8">августа</month>
					<month type="9">сентября</month>
					<month type="10">октября</month>
					<month type="11">ноября</month>
					<month type="12">декабря</month>
				</monthWidth>
			</monthContext>
			<monthContext type="stand-alone">

				...

				<monthWidth type="wide">
					<month type="1">январь</month>
					<month type="2">февраль</month>
					<month type="3">март</month>
					<month type="4">апрель</month>

					<month type="6">июнь</month>

					<month type="8">август</month>
					<month type="9">сентябрь</month>
					<month type="10">октябрь</month>
					<month type="11">ноябрь</month>
					<month type="12">декабрь</month>
				</monthWidth>
			</monthContext>
		</months>

so they appear to handle that by using the genitive in the "format" context and the nominative in the "stand-alone" context.
