IIRC, the datestamp is put by the process that is logging, not by syslog
itself. Maybe when that process started you hadn't configured the right
/etc/localtime and the process still thinks it's running in UTC (processes
read /etc/localtime only once).

Did you try rebooting the machine to see if it solves the problem?
