As you're not the only OOo user in that very timezone ;) and we didn't
receive reports for your issue so far, chances are not very high that
the timezone is related. However, I wouldn't call it impossible. One
more test: in 4 cells enter the time values

0
3:59
4:00
4:01

and format all cells with the number format code YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS
You then should see display strings 1899-12-30 00:00:00 to 
1899-12-30 04:01:00

If in your save-scenario only the first two values get modified, the
problem is certainly timezone related. If all 4 values, especially the
last 4:01 are modified, it may be something else, but still timezone
related if the offset is -4 hours, your timezone's offset from UTC.

Speculation, but I don't think that would be the reason.

It sounds like one..
