Sorry, no joy!  With the patch, and removing test_logging's restoration of
locale, the symptom remains the same:

C:\Code\python\PCbuild>python ../lib/test/regrtest.py test_strptime
                                                      test_logging
                                                      test_time
test_strptime
test_logging
test_time
test test_time failed -- Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\CODE\PYTHON\lib\test\test_time.py", line 49, in test_strptime
    self.fail('conversion specifier: %r failed.' % format)
  File "C:\CODE\PYTHON\lib\unittest.py", line 260, in fail
    raise self.failureException, msg
AssertionError: conversion specifier: ' %c' failed.

2 tests OK.
1 test failed:
    test_time


Remove test_strptime, or test_logging, from the mix, and test_time passes.

There's a different failure mode if the order of the first two is swapped:

C:\Code\python\PCbuild>python ../lib/test/regrtest.py test_logging
                                                      test_strptime
                                                      test_time
test_logging
test_strptime
