Nikolaj is right.  I just made a change to see the timestamp at 1:22 AM
UTC and the bugzilla page shows a 5 hour lapse: 20:22 PM UTC of the day
before.

After changing my preferences to my time zone (CET), the same page makes
the conversion properly, but still with the wrong hour: 21:22 PM CET.

It looks like Bugzilla is working allright, and the problem may come
from a system misconfiguration.  Or maybe even the NTP daemon is not
working properly, who knows?
