You are welcome. After your reply I learned that the nil value
for `system-time-locale' will be overridden by the value of
the LC_TIME environment variable. For example:
$ export LC_TIME=ja_JP.UTF-8
$ emacs -batch -Q -eval '(message (format-time-string "%a"))'
=> 金
So, what you should do might be to set LC_TIME to C in the shell.
Here is the locale command output in my system:
$ locale
LANG=C
LC_CTYPE="ja_JP.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="C"
LC_TIME="C"
LC_COLLATE="C"
LC_MONETARY="C"
LC_MESSAGES="C"
LC_ALL=
