Do you know what might be causing this if it's my system instead of coreutils' ls?
It means the file's timestamp is in the future. This can happen if your file system's clock is a bit ahead of your kernel's clock. This is not uncommon in network file systems.
Of course this sort of thing can lead to problems with programs like 'make', which rely on file timestamps. You can think of 'ls' as the canary in your mineshaft.
