Yes, indeed, I know THAT feeling.  :-)
 
I think you'll find that /.profile has a TZ variable setting, which 
differs from the loaded kernel, and that this causes exactly what 
you're seeing.  Change the settings here to the same as they appear 
in /etc/default/login (which should agree with what't in the kernel) 
and it should be corrected.
