Date and time look about the same to me, just the TZ is off.

Make sure it's set as a symlink to the appropriate file
in /usr/share/zoneinfo/ and don't just copy it.

What version LXC are you running?  The old (0.9.0) Fedora template use
to not set this.  The newer template does, upon container creation.  It
does work.  I've done this and you do not need to restart the container
(just any affected applications).

If it didn't work, then you must have done something wrong in
setting /etc/localtime because it does work.
