Make sure that both sides are running the exact same code for protocol
30 (because the protocol is still in flux).  If one side is older,
you'll need to use --protocol=29 for the transfer.  I don't advise
installing a protocol-30 server except for testing (at least not until
the protocol stabilizes).

That's a C library problem.  As of 2.6.9 we call strftime() prior to the
chroot() call.  If that's not enough to make the C library behave, there
is nothing rsync can do about it.  You may be able to set a value of the
TZ environment variable that helps, but it might not make any difference.
You could also resort to copying any necessary timezone-config files into
the chroot area and then hide them via an exclude in the rsyncd.conf file.
