Yeah. Likely theories include
1. You ran initdb in a different environment than you normally start the
server in.
2. You blindly copied the 9.1 postgresql.conf into the 9.3 installation,
overwriting what initdb had done. If there's no uncommented timezone
setting in the .conf file, 9.3 will fall back to GMT, IIRC. But that
approach to configuration has a lot of pitfalls besides this one.
In any case the fix is to set the zone you want in postgresql.conf.
