As far as I know there was no resolution to this one. I just went  
through the code that contributes to the "Zenoss server time:"  
displayed in the web interface, and it works like this:

This part of the web page is built by $ZENHOME/Products/ZenModel/skins/ 
zenmodel/templates.pt.
	templates.pt calls ${here/server_time}
	which calls the server_time() method in $ZENHOME/Products/ZenModel/ 
ZentinelPortal.py
	which calls the isoDateTime() method in $ZENHOME/Products/ZenUtils/ 
Time.py
	which calls the _maybenow() method in $ZENHOME/Products/ZenUtils/ 
Time.py
	which calls the time() method in Python's standard library

I can't think of what scenario would cause Python's standard library  
to return a different time than the UNIX time. You can try running the  
following commands at your python >>> prompt to see what Python thinks  
the time is.

import time
time.strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S", time.localtime(time.time()))

This is the exact call and formatting that the web interface ends up  
calling.
