Do you mean 6.1 RC1 or the latest 6.1 trunk (*after* RC1)?
If you're still using RC1 you're certainly seeing bug 922065, which was
causing date fields to be converted upon display in the web client when
they should really never be (conversion is for datetime fields only, as
already discussed at length).
Please upgrade the web client to any version later than rev.2067.

That would typically be a consequence of bug 922065 with a -3:00 TZ offset.

This is already the case, at least after rev. 2067.
