Seems to me the bug is in CPython:

$ python
Python 2.6.4+ (release26-maint, Nov  5 2009, 07:35:50) 
[GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5493)] on darwin
>>> import time
>>> d = (2010, 7, 25, 8, 58, 41, 100000000, 206, -1)
>>> time.strftime('%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ',d)
'2010-07-25T08:58:41Z'

Day of week is not necessary here to construct the time tuple, but ignoring something that's inconsistent doesn't seem to make sense.

Urs, is there any reason why we should support this behavior, other than compliance even when buggy? I'm going to keep this pending for the moment.
