I suspect a combination of things, and udev, util-linux, tzdata or
initscripts are probably the source of your problem.

Can you provide the output from these commands:

ls -ld /etc/localtime /dev/.udev
grep ^UTC /etc/default/rcS
ls /etc/rcS.d
df -hP

The problem will happen when HW clock is not on UTC and /usr/ is a
separate partition from /.

As far as I know, this problem have existed since forever, so I am
more surprised you see it just now. :) It is believed to be fixed
recently, when /etc/localtime was converted was converted from a
symlink into /usr/ to a copy of the file in /usr/.. :)

Happy hacking,
