Comment(by hailin):

 Joseph Scott encountered another similar case when post is published via
 XML-RPC.
 post_date was set to 2009-03-05 17:00:00, and post_date_gmt was set to
 2009-03-06 03:00:00; and it has UTC-5.  So user was expecting post to be
 published at 2009-03-05 17:00:00 (2009-03-05 22:00:00 GMT), but it won't
 since cron uses post_date_gmt.

 one way to prevent this is to force post_date_gmt = post_date - gmt_offset
 during wp_insert_post
