This is probably easy-pickings for somebody: where is the timezone setting for the network?
I'm noticing that upgrade-core.php is reporting its "last checked" date/time as GMT, which is confusing - but I can't find anywhere to set/verify the network timezone setting.
There isn't one.
I believe it defaults to GMT, but there's no setting to change it.

Well, that's annoying! :)
Would you recommend Plugin or patch, if I were to attempt to correct this omission?
Depends on what you're using it for! :D
Mine says Chicago Time, though, as I look at it right now, and if I change my MAIN site (ipstenu.org) to UTC-0, that changes as well. I wonder if that's a holdover from the old 'first site was main site' days? Try changing that.
Can you define this in the config file tho?
If not, I do know the new-blog-defaults plugin will set the timezone for you on new site.
But that's just PER site, and not for the network settings (the new-blogs one). You should be able to control this in the config.
Does upgrade-core just check against server time though, and convert to GMT?

The update-core.php file looks at the site date/time settings:
printf( __('Last checked on %1$s at %2$s.'), date_i18n( get_option( 'date_format' ) ), date_i18n( get_option( 'time_format' ) ) );...which is what got me wondering in the first place. I'm going to try @Ipstenu's suggestion really quickly:
...if I change my MAIN site (ipstenu.org) to UTC-0, that changes as well. I wonder if that's a holdover from the old 'first site was main site' days? Try changing that.
...and report back.

@Ipstenu:

BRILLIANT!
Worked flawlessly. So, next question: where would be the best place to document this behavior? (I tried a general Google search, and a Google site-search of the Codex, and couldn't find it.)
If I can find the right place to link (or update) the Codex, this one will be resolved. Do you know the right place in the Codex, or should I maybe ask the wp-dics list?
I think ... http://codex.wordpress.org/Network_Admin_Updates_Screen ?

Or perhaps here:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Network_Admin#Settings
?
I didn't think so, because that references http://codex.wordpress.org/Network_Admin_Settings_Screen y'know?

Right, well... that's ultimately my point: it makes sense that a Network Admin would look for a setting to change the Network's timezone setting - and that such Network Admin would look for that setting in Network Admin -> Settings -> Network Settings.
SO, a note in that section, pointing such users to Main Site -> Dashboard -> Settings -> General might be useful.
Oh! Sure :) That makes sense. I'm gonna get more coffee.
