Yeah, that's what I asked myself as well?

I remember that for long we did not run replication tests on Windows (because
they had tons of failures), maybe binlog tests also. But I kind of thought
that was fixed some time ago, don't remember for sure though.

Or maybe the Pushbuild Windows hosts were set to the +03:00 time zone.

Can't think of any better reason atm.
