I am trying to reproduce this issue on my system, but I am (yet) not 
able to get it.  Can you please try to help me?

 * I enabled 'fr_FR.UTF-8' and 'en_US.UTF-8' in /etc/locale.gen and ran
   'dpkg-reconfigure -p high locales'.
 * I reset my locale related environment variables in this order:

        export LC_ALL= LANG=

   then I start a new terminal with these settings, thus, 'locale' in 
   the new terminal shows 'POSIX' to all LC_* variables. Then I issue

        export LC_ALL=
        export LANG=fr_FR.utf8
        export LC_TIME="fr_FR.utf8"
        export LC_MESSAGES=en_US.UTF-8

   and the 'locale' output is almost as expected:

        LANG=fr_FR.utf8
        LANGUAGE=
        LC_CTYPE="fr_FR.utf8"
        LC_NUMERIC="fr_FR.utf8"
        LC_TIME=fr_FR.utf8
        LC_COLLATE="fr_FR.utf8"
        LC_MONETARY="fr_FR.utf8"
        LC_MESSAGES=en_US.UTF-8
        LC_PAPER="fr_FR.utf8"
        LC_NAME="fr_FR.utf8"
        LC_ADDRESS="fr_FR.utf8"
        LC_TELEPHONE="fr_FR.utf8"
        LC_MEASUREMENT="fr_FR.utf8"
        LC_IDENTIFICATION="fr_FR.utf8"
        LC_ALL=

 * Running 'date', it seems to show the behaviour you described:

        vendredi 23 décembre 2016, 05:25:47 (UTC+0100)

   but with 'ts' it seems to be correct to me:

        $ echo bicycle repair man | ts
        déc. 23 05:26:07 bicycle repair man

An interesting point to me: when I am starting from my usual locale 
settings (LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_ALL=nb_NO.UTF.8) and then set the 
specific values as written above, I get the same 'locale' output but

        $ date | ts
        déc. 23 05:32:11 vendredi 23 décembre 2016, 05:32:11 (UTC+0100)

seems to ok.

So, since 'ts' always shows me the correct output, I am not yet able to 
reproduce your issue; but am confused about 'date' behaving as you 
wrote about 'ts'...

Kind regards,
Nicolas
