It's not.

On investigation, I think you are referring to the conversion of r269472.  
That was committed for you by Jim Wilson and thus has you as author and 
Jim Wilson as committer and Jim Wilson's timezone entry has been applied.  
So the argument here is that the author's timezone information should be 
applied to the author date, and the committer's timezone information 
should be applied to the committer date.  I expect that should be 
straightforward (although when coming from SVN, there's also an argument 
that we only have committer dates so the committer timezone is the 
relevant one to apply).
