Ok, I see: I have LC_TIME=C while LANG=en_US.
Suggested fix: Use a "LANG=C" prefix.
That really doesn't work, the time display needs to be localised along with everything else.
Unfortunatly I can't think of a good way to remove the time zone from the display that'll work for all LC_TIME settings.

OK: How about this
/sbin/hwclock --show --localtime --debug | sed -n 's/Time read from Hardware Clock: //p'
which prints this
2004/09/07 05:03:27
Which is pretty much language/locale independent.
