This is related to strptime being used, which was introduced in Python 2.5. 
There is similar bug mentioned here:

http://trac-hacks.org/ticket/3380

And the changeset of the fix:

http://trac-hacks.org/changeset/4014

I'm going to try and see If I can write up a patch for this.

Attached patch tested with Django 1.1.1, replaced datetime.strptime with 
time.strptime for Python 2.4 compatibility.
