Hello!
For now i've fixed this from sysadmins' side - i.e. rewriting email "Date" header on local Postfix. Short recipe:
1) add headers check in main.cf like
header_checks = pcre:/etc/postfix/header_checks
2) add filtering rule
root@otrs:~# cat /etc/postfix/header_checks
# header_checks for date removal
/^(Date: .* [+-][0-9]{4})$/ REPLACE X-$1

the rule above will replace "Date" header with "X-Date", effectively removing the wrong one and providing the possibility to see what was in the original header. Some magic happens later - when postfix's cleanup procedure in processing email - it fixes obvious errors like missing "Date" header and adding new one (with proper offset and such).

Idea has been taken from http://www.irbs.net/internet/postfix/0704/0082.html , so kudos to Noel Jones .
Hope this will help someone later.

Kernel/System/Email.pm sends mail.

# add date header
$Header{Date} = 'Date: ' . $Kernel::OM->Get('Kernel::System::Time')->MailTimeStamp();
MailTimeStamp is defined here:
https://github.com/OTRS/otrs/blob/rel-4_0/Kernel/System/Time.pm#L363

offsite defined:
# calculate offset - should be '+0200', '-0600', '+0000' or '+0530' my $Diff = Time::Local::timegm_nocheck( localtime( time() ) ) - time();

Time::Local

perl localtime

I have to step away for a bit, but maybe someone else can step in.

I've just checked several hours ago this idea about SMTP MTA is doing weird things, so I captured traffic (tcpdump on localhost, port 25) and I see that MTA is not problem here, see below cut of the dump in text viewable format by tcpflow, highlighted Date with red:

As you can see, message received by MTA is already with DATE header, so, from my point of view the problem is on OTRS' side somehow. I can even add the dump file itself if needed.

This is more about your MTA/SMTP server than it is about OTRS. OTRS doesn't really do anything more than use mailing APIs to adjust offset. 

But yes, offset on "Date" is wrong, but 9:30 UTC= 12:30 UTC+3.
