As I use UTC on my computer, a 12-hour clock is not particularly useful (and is in fact confusing) to me. mate-screensaver should honor the LC_TIME variable and use a 24-hour clock when LC_TIME is set to POSIX.
I have taken a look at your observed issue. The clock layout is handled via the i18n translation system underneath mate-screensaver. I presume that a POSIX locale is mapped to en_US.UTF-8 (though not sure), so the English translation scheme applies.
To make LC_TIME=POSIX and also LC_ALL=POSIX be interpreted correctly, you probably need to patch src/gs-lock-plug.c around line 304. [1]
My suggestion about this bug: I reduce it to wishlist, you start working on a patch and then the two of use try convincing upstream of accepting it.
