Z is expected when you're using Qt 4.8 (which changed the time format 
for ISO dates to, er, actually be correct).  Since it makes no sense to 
undo their bug fix, we plan to eventually have code such that even if 
you run MythTV compiled against a Qt <4.8 version, it will still have Z 
in the UTC times.  We haven't done this change, yet, though, so it's 
likely to only be in 0.26-fixes or possibly only in unstable until 0.27 
release.
