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>

<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.
