Thanks for the references.

Unison 2.10.2 has some code which is supposed to provide a work-around
to this problem: one-hour differences are ignored.  But this code was
not really tested.

So, I would really appreciate if you could try Unison 2.10.2 (or 2.12)
and tell us whether it fixes this problem.
