It looks like it is _almost_ correct. It should be
  Date: Fri, 07 Jul 2006 20:57:55 +0200
instead of
  Date: Fri,  7 Jul 2006 20:57:55 +0200

It is "day = ([FWS] 1*2DIGIT) / obs-day" in RFC2822.

I think you are reading ABNF wrong. [...]

See the definition of "hour" and friends a few lines below what
you quoted.  It is defined as "2DIGIT / obs-hour" and that is
why we say "01:23:45" not "1:23:45"

But it is "day = [...] 2DIGIT [...]"! 

Besides, that what other mailers do (I checked the post I replied via
git-send-email to, i.e. your post). Although I don't think that it can
cause any problems, like using locale date with non US-ASCII characters
did...
