I believe that is by design. One is supposed to use programs that are
smart enough to adjust for localtime when looking at file datestamps.
If they wrote the actual localtime to the bits on the hard drive, then
when you copy those bits to another computer that is in a different
timezone, it would not have the correct time. But if you copy a file
to someone in another timezone, they use their program to adjust the
gmt for the correct time.
(this differs from windows, by the way. MS figures that its users are
either too dumb to ever use datestamps, or that their users will never
send files to someone in another timezone).
