ok, maybe it's not the complete fix then.

Here's how I would expect things to work:

kickstart puts UTC=True in /etc/sysconfig/clock
this makes fedora init scripts always call hwclock with --utc
and this option makes hwclock write "UTC" in /etc/adjtime

Perhaps my understanding is flawed/incomplete, or there is a bug somewhere.
