TimeFormat() statement that worked now fails

Question

I've been using the statement below to create a date/time
string like "2007-10-17T11:26:01Z".
<cfset strDateTime = DateFormat(Now(), "YYYY-MM-DD") &
"T" & TimeFormat(Now(), "HH:mm:ssZ")>
This has always worked correctly but suddenly on one of our
production servers it generates the following error:
"{ts '2007-10-17 13:36:32'}" is an invalid time format.
I'm guessing it has something to do with the Z in the format
mask so I'm trying the following as a fix:
<cfset strDateTime = DateFormat(Now(), "YYYY-MM-DD") &
"T" & TimeFormat(Now(), "HH:mm:ss") & "Z">
(which produces the correct string on the dev server - but
then so does the original version).
Does anyone know why this would suddenly break? Is it related
to different versions of CF?

This may or may not have anything to do with the problem. It
is important that you guys apply the
ColdFusion
MX 6.1 Updater and then the
MX
6.1 Updater Hotfixes
...this has always worked and still does on all but one prod
server. This will be a minor nightmare if I need to hunt down all
occurrences of this in numerous files on several servers.
No, not pleasant. It's rather odd that the error message says
nothing about the mask. The suddenness of the message
"{ts '2007-10-17 13:36:32'}" is an invalid time format leads
me to believe that something has changed. It can be the server, the
code or localization issues.
Do you have more on the error? Put the offending code within
the following block, and tell us what you get.
<cftry>
<!--- offending code --->
<cfcatch type="Any">
<cfdump var="#cfcatch#">
</cfcatch>
</cftry>
