it might also be that in Europe the time has not changed yet!! so the difference is 4 hours and not 5.( at least in U.K.)
I know it to my regret having missed meetings because of this!!

Some time ago I recall, there was an universal adjustment to the switch.. If I recall right, the day on which the time changes were changed. To reflect this in the digital world, OS updates were required. I’m guessing, one of your two clients (the one that shows it incorrectly) does not have that update..

I can reproduce it. Steps: 1). If I have locale->TimeZone sets to blank, and creates an incident, its "Create Date" is 2012-03-19 01:55:06 PM. 2). However, when I change the TimeZone to GMT-5:00 (EST) America/New_York, "Create Date" of the same incident becomes 2012-03-19 12:55:06 PM. There is one hour defference. My time zone is GMT-5:00 (EST) US & Canada. These two time zones are GMT-5:00. Do you know why these two GMT-5:00 setting shows one hour defference for the same incident. This happens to incidents created between new day light saving time (second week of March) and old day light saving time (first week of April).
