Comment(by Denis-de-Bernardy):

 as much as I agree on the diagnosis, this ticket and #9586 and #8662 were
 opened precisely because time() is not a gm time and it occasionally has
 side effects because WP makes the assumption that it is.

 testing revealed that it "automagically" corrects itself due to
 wp_timezone_override_offset(). further up, I've attached a screenshot
 where time() is used before the latter function is called, complete with
 the resulting side effect and bug.
