3.45 UTC next day, I think the added timezone acronym is of no relevance, 
it's just informational and should be equivalent to "-0400 UTC".

There is no such value, so I'm not sure what you mean. The problem is that 
this

Date: 18 Aug 2007 23:45:02 -0400 EDT

is 3.45 UTC in the future. And that is the same what the first received 
line (see above) is showing. So, both data are accurate, but the system 
time is wrong.

AFAIK in "19:45 -0400 EDT" only the local offset is relevant. It doesn't 
mean "4 hours before EDT". It means "4 hours before UTC and that is EDT".
