Have you rebooted yet? The diff is that if your CMOS clock is set to UTC, it's correct regardless of the local tz; that's not the case if the CMOS clock is set to some local tz. I think the problem may even be taken care of if you do a 'shutdown,' but things'll definately be screwed up if your machine crashes or loses power. (That's why I find it really important to use UTC--if a machine loses power 4 months after DST starts, I often forget to check to make sure the time's right. netdate will fix this, but the startup logs will look a bit funky...)
