After a bit of confusion, I tracked down the problem.

In language-pack-gnome-en-base, data/en_GB/LC_MESSAGES/gdm.po, there are the lines:
msgid "%a %b %d, %l:%M %p"
msgstr "%a %d %b, %H:%M %p"

The strftime format string "%H:%M %p" contains a mishmash of both 24h and 12h formatting. This should either be just "%H:%M", or the original "%l:%M %p".

Note:
The gdm source package (po/en_GB.po) has the following lines:
msgid "%a %b %d, %l:%M %p"
msgstr "%a %b %d, %l:%M %p"

The fix is to update language-pack-gnome-en-base with the "right" string.
