Yeah; I was hoping to avoid that, but all the people who seem to have
the time working correctly appear to be running with a UTC hardware
clock. I'll mess with it over the weekend unless someone steps forward
with a solution that works with a local-time BIOS clock.

Nope. Not if the BIOS clock is running on local time. (At least, it
doesn't do the right thing on my system. Somehow, it doesn't figure out
the right UTC time even though there appears to be enough information
available in the two config files for the system to be able to work it
out.)
Thanks for the other info. I will be using SNTP to keep the time
correct once I have this UTC/local mess sorted out.
