Any process started before you update /etc/localtime (and ensure that got updated correctly; it may not have been) may need to be restarted if it uses zoneinfo information. Two obvious ones are syslog and cron.
For what it's worth, I'm not sure syslog really cares. It seems to log based on the timezone of the logging process.
I think the kernel logging side (klogd) may care. They're started as part of the same init script.
Sidetrack: hey, look, from the changelog of the (unreleased upstream, several years old) 1.4.2 version of syslog:
- Always log with syslogd's timezone and locale
wouldn't that be nice!
