This is caused by a bug in uClibc, which has been corrected a few months
ago: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.uclibc.general/21356

The fix is only present in releases 0.9.32.1 and 0.9.33. So most builds
of OpenWRT (except very recent ones using 0.9.33) are affected. After
1 week, the bug disappears (ie time is interpreted correctly).

In France, some light has been shed on this topic (on geek-oriented
websites) because so-called "Internet Boxes" from some major ISPs (not
based on OpenWRT but on uClibc) exhibit the bug, and display the wrong
time on their front panel.

Best,
