It did help, in a way - now I know it *is* a purely lj-made glitch, and not up to lj clients or whatever. It sucks since I can't do anything about it, but it does clear things up a bit.
Thank you for indulging me and my experiments! *hugs back hard*
What's weird is that the comments' timestamps are fine - it keeps saying (local) though the time is translated into my own timezone. It's like lj was not even trying to have them be correct but succeeded, and with the post, well, who knows. :-/
Are you sure your time zone is set properly? (It's somewhere in the bowels of lj's settings, hecked if I remember under what heading, sorry.) I was sometimes off by an hour on other sites due to the summer/winter time switcheroos, but lj was usually fine.
You could try and set your time zone an hour or two off deliberately to compensate, and see what happens? I'm of a tinkering mindset - if I had your journal, I'd already be changing three different things at the same time to see what happens. :-D
Hmm. I should check this out - LJ has never recovered from me moving continents. My own computer has trouble, actually, which is weird considering I bought it here.
Re: your comp, if you have stuff set to a country or zone or language, even - even if it's not specifically a time-related setting, some programs can go wonky and try and fix the default to what *they* feel is the right time or timezone. And stuff like that.
Let's not go into how I had to convince my computer I WANTED TO USE US ENGLISH AS A DEFAULT, YES, STOP WITH THE RANDOM LOCAL LANGUAGES ALREADY but use a different - not US - timezone, and NOT have all the programs that had multi-language packs default to a random local language rather than good old English. I still occasionally have to glare a program into submission, but at least I don't get so many things trying to tell me stuff in Russian anymore. (Which was extra entertaining since I believe the UK is about the same distance from here as Russia these days, so why not default to the Queen's British??)
I'm gonna use my crystal ball and after consulting with the spirits declare that your own time is 10 am.
(As it says on your entry. Geez, you'd think lj would have a system smarter than this. *headdesk*)

P.S. The vagaries of LJ's coding will never, I'm afraid, be understood. :/
