Thanks for this great bug report!

A few notes:
* A Google search revealed DIN 1355 / ISO 8601 as possibly relevant,
if one wants to verify that ncal -w is indeed correct.
* This bug presumably isn't triggered for all years (depending on the
first day of the year).
* LC_TIME=de_DE* seems to behave as LC_TIME=C in this case.
* pal(1) does not mention show_weeknum.
* An additional relevant pal rc setting is week_start_monday.
* This could be useful for testing:
LC_TIME=C TERM=dumb datefudge "1980-01-01 00:00" ...
* Since ncal hardly implemented proper LC_TIME handling itself,
this might be related to a libc function it uses - checking if
setlocale() is used correctly looks like a good idea.
