I saw a similar problem with strftime a month or so back.  I
was able to reproduce it in straight C code.  The code was
written as documented and ran on other OSes, so I figured it
was a bug in glibc.  It worked on another glibc so I
concluded my library was probably out of date, but didn't
investigate further.

Don't have the machine handy to test your reproducible.
