netCDF-C support for dates/times/calendars is limited to the `ncdump` utility, and I believe only as a convenience (`nctime0.h` isn't installed as part of the library). It has been extended over time to be more flexible with respect to both UDUNITS as well as to better operate with different calendars. I would strongly recommend that its behavior with respect to time be viewed as any other netCDF based client lost in the fog of the various real and imaginary calendars, and not be viewed as a sort of reference implementation (or even guidance) regarding date/time/calendar handling for netCDF files generically.
