Thanks for the clue. There was an error in the code that built the
shared SimpleTimeZone object used for all the date calculations. It was
cut and pasted in from some broken reference code:

new SimpleTimeZone(SimpleTimeZone.UTC_TIME, "UTC");

The value of SimpleTimeZone.UTC_TIME is actually 2, leading to a
mysterious two millisecond offset.
