not sure sure if this is something to do with chrooting)?

Running the internal sftp inside a chroot could definitely account for
that. Your operating system may have a file or a symbolic link somewhere
in /etc which determines the default time zone; or it may just use the TZ
environment variable. They're all different.

Shouldn't sshd still have the timezone information from before it chrooted,
though? Internal-sftp doesn't exec a new process, so as long as it called
some function that read /etc/localtime before the chroot it should know the
correct timezone.
