ls in fileutils can't handle LC_TIME because it uses its own strftime instead of glibc's. Looking at configure it looks like glibc strftime isn't accepted because it can't handle the %f format (part of POSIX 2 it says) since from what i've seen the only component in fileutils that needs strftime is ls and it doesn't use the %f it should be possible to compile with glibc's strftime. Not really a big deal but it should be nice to have ls displaying dates in the users locale.
fileutils in rawhide uses its internal strftime() only on systems that don't have strftime.
