%z is not standard --- you won't find it in the SUS spec for instance.
Or were you thinking of exposing this problem at the API level by making
people write a separate log_line_prefix item to get the timezone?  I'm
not thrilled about institutionalizing such a fix for a platform-specific
issue that might go away later (if we switch to using our own timezone
code here, for instance).

I'd be inclined to #ifdef elog's strftime calls so that the zone is
omitted on Windows but not elsewhere.  Kinda ugly but it's a localized
fix that we can easily improve later.
