I can't think Gnus does do it. But the value of the variable
`system-time-locale' gets changed to that of German, doesn't it?
If so, though I don't know what causes it, this would help:
(setq system-time-locale nil)
The value may be "C" or "en_US.UTF-8", etc. instead of nil.
If the `system-messages-locale' variable is changed also to what
is not your taste, you can set both of them by:
(set-locale-environment "C") ;; or "en_US.UTF-8", etc.
