This appears to be a problem for dates without a timezone code for example
DateUtil.parseRFC822('Tue, 17 Mar 2009 14:44:46'); will throw an error. 

This occurs on line 376 "if (timezone.search(/\d/) == -1)" as timezone is null 
(from
var timezone:String = dateParts.shift(); on line 373)

Maybe this should default to UTC if no timezone is specified. 
(if(!timezone)timezone
= "UTC")

I'm receiving an error when I run 

import com.adobe.utils.DateUtil;
var pubDate:String = "Mon, 20 Apr 2009 16:12:01 CDT";
DateUtil.parseRFC822(pubDate);

Notice that I am using a timezone code (ie CDT)

Error Thrown as follows:
Error: Unable to parse the string [Mon, 20 Apr 2009 16:12:01 CDT] into a date. 
The
internal error was: TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method 
of a
null object reference.
