=)  I like Tim's assessment.  Best way to test that theory would be to 
clear the cache in _strptime.  Tim, can you insert the lines::

     print "***%s == %s ?" % (_strptime._TimeRE_cache.locale_time.lang,
                           _strptime._getlang())
     _strptime._TimeRE_cache = _strptime.TimeRE()
     _strptime._regex_cache = {}

in the function (line 282 should be fine; just as long as you do it 
before any calls to _strptime).  That will state what the current 
language is set for LC_TIME and what the cache was created for (so we 
can see what is thought to be the settings) and then clear _strptime's 
cache.

While the code tries to detect locale changes, it is possible it is not 
manifesting itself in a way that is detectable.  If the clearing of the 
cache, and thus the rebuild of all values that strptime uses, solves 
this than that's what is happening, I think.
