I "strongly suspect" that your machine is set to a time zone four
hours earlier than Universal.  [like mine...]

If so, it would be a guess that the problem is the lack of visibility
of /etc/localtime within the chroot.  You could probably link such a
file into the chroot environment(s) and solve the problem that way.
