Yes.  It does the same thing.

This is a problem with any language that uses system functions for
date formatting.  

This shouldn't get in the way of any sort of localization, should we
decide to do that.  Either way, we wouldn't be localizing anything in
the headers - SMTP (or convention) provides a format for those things.
If we localize anything, it'll be plain text strings that are
irrelevant to the protocol.
