This here might be quite a comprehensive description of the issue:
<http://www.codeproject.com/KB/datetime/dstbugs.aspx>

It seems Microsoft has decided for a very strange behavior here and insists on 
keeping it. However I will first have to read all the information and get an 
idea on whether it's possible to work around the issue using WSH.

In worst case we somehow need to document it as a known issue for file time 
comparison.
