This is tricky: It is not really a bug, but a usability problem.
Let me explain:

You do a right-click on the clock-applet in the GNOME panel an choose
"Adjust Date & Time". Here you have a basic interface to change your
time settings and when you click on "Set System Time" the changes are
saved.

Note that this button is not marked as "OK" or "Apply" and has no icon (see 
screenshot).
So I guess most users (including me) would think that they can get to the "Time 
and Date" window (which you can find under "System" - "Administration" - "Time 
and Date") through clicking here, but actually you directly change the time 
settings.

I really dont know why GNOME needs two time configuration interfaces at
all, but this behaviour is really confusing.
