locale
shows “en_NZ.utf8” everywhere, and date
produces output like “Thu Nov 22 08:39:49 NZDT 2018”. So the clock is 24 hours, as expected. But while Thunderbird 60.3.1's “Date and Time Formatting” is set to “Regional settings locale: English (New Zealand)” it shows datetimes like “22/11/18 3:36 pm”. Is there a bug in the Thunderbird locale settings?

Yes, this is Thunderbird bug:
1426907: Setting date locale no longer works in Thunderbird 60 on linux (LC_TIME=en_DK.utf8 behaves differently than it used to)
The bug was reported a year ago, and after several Status changes, it's still "Unconfirmed" with the discussion ongoing, and the full thread links to several similar bugs. So I can't really summarize it better than the title already does :(
