10.5: A note about Time Machine time zones

I observed this same behavior when restoring a Time Machine backup on a 2.16 Macbook Pro and on a 1.25ghz iMac G4.

I believe it is a user experience gap, not a bug. When you boot from the Leopard install DVD and select restore from backup, you have not yet set the local system time zone, therefore the default of PST remains current.

It is, however, confusing to see that the last available backup is hours different than expected.

Exactly my first thought. While I've not used, and therefore not restored from, TimeMachine, I thought, surely, that has to be the reason. (Yes, it is. And don't call me Shirley.)
