Nice little bug!  Fixed, thanks.

Hmmm.  Yes, the rational thing behind this (which may not be very 
valid) is that [] time stamps are mostly used to *record* an event, and 
therefore the timestamps should not be
changed......   But I think you are right, it is not very intuitive.

I am not sure how exactly this works, but I believe this has to do with 
locales.  There are 3 Emacs variables for this:

Variable: locale-coding-system
This variable specifies the coding system to use for decoding system 
error messages, for encoding the format argument to format-time-string, 
and for decoding the return value of format-time-string.

Variable: system-messages-locale
This variable specifies the locale to use for generating system error 
messages. Changing the locale can cause messages to come out in a 
different language or in a different orthography. If the variable is 
nil, the locale is specified by environment variables in the usual 
POSIX fashion.

Variable: system-time-locale
This variable specifies the locale to use for formatting time values. 
Changing the locale can cause messages to appear according to the 
conventions of a different language. If the variable is nil, the locale 
is specified by environment variables in the usual POSIX fashion.

If these are nil, then the locale is set somewhere in your environment. 
  I don't know what legal values are, but I would suspect that you can 
set the above variables to change the weekday abbreviations in time 
stamps.  Maybe this is enough of a pointer.....

Thanks.
