What does "git show -s --pretty=fuller HEAD" give you at this point?
This is to check what kind of timestamps are stored in the original
commit objects.
And what does "grep '^Date: ' patches/0001-*" show you at this point?
This is to see if the problem is at the "format-patch" step.

And what does "grep '^Date: '" for the message that is received by
recipients show at this step? They cannot be

as these two do not even have times and zones. It should read
something like
Date: Sun, 05 Aug 2012 13:39:12 -0700
or something.
Also "Date" on which message do you see your problem with? The one
that is created with --compose? Or the one that was originally
produced by format-patch and then sent? Or both?
The timestamps used by git-send-email is obtained by calling time()
function of Perl, and is not affected by timezone, and the function
format_2822_time() implements the e-mail header timestamp in a way
that should not be affected by any locales as far as I know, so it
is curious where the "breakage" is coming from.
