That does make sense. I will try to simulate that with a temporary
virtual machine as a different timezone.

aha! there you go, mine doesn't but maybe yours does?

The specification for the syslog protocol is that timestamps embedded in
the message should be used instead of syslogd's time.  Most syslog
daemons as a result apply this concept to both local and remote
messages.

You have to keep in mind that syslogd can also send/receive messages
to/from remote destinations.
