My guess is the time zone names are provided (or not provided) by libc, and in this case one is not being provided, so it falls back to the %z response. If this guess is correct, then you could file a bug against the libc6 package. There might be layers I don't understand. Maybe it's related to generated locales or something. In that case, the result would depend on which locales I have generated on my system. Do you get a different result? If so, can you explain why?
