I assume, something inside Gnus (e.g. formatting the summary buffer,
which contains dates) forces some kind of decision of some previously
rather undecided state. :)

No, `system-time-locale' as well as `system-messages-locale' are both
nil when Emacs starts as well as after having Gnus used for a while.

But this hint really helped. I now use

(set-locale-environment "en_US.UTF-8")

in my init and this seems to fix my problem. Now I get english day
names everywhere. Thank you very much for your help!
