Is this a bug?
HSETPT seems to totally ignore the WEEKFIRST parameter.

SET WEEKFIRST = 2

DEFINE FILE CAR
	TODAYSTR/A10	= TODAY(TODAYSTR);
	TODAY/HYYMDS	= HINPUT(10, TODAYSTR, 8, TODAY);
	WEEKEND/HYYMDS	= HSETPT(TODAY, 'weekday', 7, 8, WEEKEND);
END
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT WEEKEND
BY CAR
IF RECORDLIMIT EQ 1
END

SET WEEKFIRST = 5

DEFINE FILE CAR
	TODAYSTR/A10	= TODAY(TODAYSTR);
	TODAY/HYYMDS	= HINPUT(10, TODAYSTR, 8, TODAY);
	WEEKEND/HYYMDS	= HSETPT(TODAY, 'weekday', 7, 8, WEEKEND);
END
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT WEEKEND
BY CAR
IF RECORDLIMIT EQ 1
END

As far as I know, WEEKFIRST has influence on the weeknumbering, not on the days of the week. In your example you're only setting the day of the week in the date/time field, that's all. It has got nothing to do with weeknumbers, just with the numbering of the days within the week - and that ain't gonna change.

WEEKFIRST tells at what offset the week starts, doesn't it? How can that not have an impact on the numbering of days in the week?!?

Is there any other way to get ISO8601 day numbers? How are we supposed to do that?

I know how to convert the numbers using IMOD and +6 as an offset, but that makes a terrible mess of the given example.

WEEKFIRST specifies which day of the week is the first. That does not alter the fact that sunday will always be numbered as day 1, monday is day 2 aso until saturday being day 7. WEEKFIRST only says that the week starts at day x. Day 7 will however always remain saturday.

That may be, but in ISO-8601 day 1 is Monday and day 7 is Sunday.
