Yes. ... but which is the client here is the question.

Yes, it is.
[I'm in EDT which is -4 from UT, which is the difference I see.]

However, I'm looking at the syslog information generated by the AEBS. 
(Which is no longer in ticks, but has been converted to ASCII.)

Locally generated syslog entries have the correct time stamp, so I know 
it's not the logging host, but rather the "host" (AEBS) generating the 
entries.

Both machines synch with the same local timeserver. [A stratum 0 clock.]

Entries viewed via the Airport Management Utility (amu) are displayed 
with the correct time stamp... but then AMU is running on a Mac that 
has a correct time zone setting, and AMU is looking at the raw log 
buffer in the AEBS, not the transmitted syslog entries.
