This is a duplicate of issue 13305. Right now we have some shims around `strftime` to improve consistency in some situations and for other reasons, but mostly we just call the libc version. There is an open issue from 2008 (#3173) to ship our own implementation of strftime that could smooth out some of these issues and try and make the behavior more consistent (though presumably some people have started to rely on platform-specific behaviors by now, so it may be a decent amount of work to roll it out). I'm going to close this in favor of 13305, but thanks for reporting it!
