Umm the published field is storing the timezone. See the part that says +0:00 which means it is GMT. It's quite possible that the USB kindle plugin is delibrately setting an incorrect timestamp in the published date field to get around the Kindle's idiocy with time zones. I don't have the time right now to check. But in any case you should report the bug to Amazon. Maybe they'll fix it for their upcoming 3.1 firmware update.
