Comment(by Otto42):

 Note that here: http://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/wp-
 includes/functions.php?rev=10753#L3063

 If you're using the new timezone functionality, it's calling
 date_default_timezone_set(). This should be forcing the time() function to
 return the local timezone, not the GMT time. This is new functionality,
 added by the new timezone support in [10753].

 If it is not desirable for time() to return blog local time, then line
 3063 there needs to be removed. This won't affect the timezone additions.

 This could be the cause of several different time related issues. Try
 commenting that line out, see if the time problems go away. Because before
 that was added, WordPress never set the default timezone in PHP.
