ah, I see. I can reproduce it here as well:

%setenv LC_ALL C
%setenv TZ Asia/Krasnoyarsk
%setenv unixtime 1193511599

%date -jr $unixtime
Sun Oct 28 02:59:59 KRAST 2007
%date -jf $s $unixtime
Sun Oct 28 02:59:59 KRAT 2007
%date -juf %s $unixtime
Sat Oct 27 18:59:59 UTC 2007
%date -jur $unixtime
Sat Oct 27 18:59:59 UTC 2007

Interestingly, if output is forced to be in UTC, both give
the same results.

Using unixtime 1193511600 instead, I get

%date -jr $unixtime
Sun Oct 28 02:00:00 KRAT 2007
%date -jf %s $unixtime
Sun Oct 28 02:00:00 KRAST 2007

With unixtime < 1193509360 both return KRAST and
with unixtime > 1193512959 both return KRAT.

In between, one returns KRAST, the other KRAT or
vice versa...

Looks like one of the conversions is getting the
summertime-flag wrong here.

I have tested this here with 6.2-STABLE from May 20...
