This is a debug log which slipped in.  It was removed before 4.2.2:

syslogd was most likely started in another time zone (before a time
change, maybe).  When syslog starts, it initializes it's time settings
so it can convert time (tracked since epoch) into human-friendly
strings.  If it was in a different timezone than your standard one now,
then you get this effect.
