Do you also see this with other values of LC_TIME?
Looks more like an application choice than a locale formatting. Similar to the way ls -l shows "Mon Dd Year" when the file is more than 6 months old, or "Mon Dd HH:MM" when it's newer. I would not expect this to be an LC_TIME issue. More likely it's a Thunderbird issue (or "feature").
