OK, as expected.  This means Org is indeed off the hook, the problem
is with format-time-string and/or the Windows implementation of the
strftime function.

Does the below produce correct  results, or does it also produce
garbled strings:

  M-: (insert (format-time-string "<%Y-%m-%d %A>" (current-time))) RET

This is the same as what you tried, but with capital %A instead of
lower-case %a.  %A should produce the full name of the weekday.

Also, please evaluate each of the following expressions with
M-: ... RET (replace the "..." with each expression below), and
please tell what each of them produced:

    (w32-get-current-locale-id)
    (w32-get-locale-info (w32-get-current-locale-id) t)
    (w32-get-default-locale-id)
    (w32-get-default-locale-id t)
    (locale-info 'days)
