Because we are converting the timestamps from the repository format to
human display in 'svnlook' - we do it right now and we do it with the
patch I sent. Right now, 'svnlook' always generates the timestamps in
GMT - but for example 'svn info' claims it has GMT timestamps, but in
actuality they are localtime and it just doesn't print the timezone.

And btw, if you didn't notice - neither 'svnlook' or 'svn info' prints
the weekday nor the month name.
