What were you trying to do?

What's wrong:
finger gave me a bogus login time for Richard Basch:
[{1}lycus:~]
% finger probe epeisach jik
Local:
Login name: probe In real life: ???
Login name: epeisach In real life: ???
Login name: jik In real life: ???
Athena-wide:
Login name: probe In real life: Richard Basch
Office: E40-318, 617-253-0100 Home phone: 617-547-4376
Directory: /mit/probe Shell: /bin/csh
On since Richard Basch on unix:0.0 on host cronos.MIT.EDU
No Plan.

[{1}lycus:~]
% zlocate probe
cronos.MIT.EDU unix:0.0 Wed Jan 2 02:09:49 1991
[{1}lycus:~]
% where finger
/usr/athena/finger
/usr/ucb/finger
[{1}lycus:~]
%
What should have happened:
It should have used the proper time from the zlocate.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
finger(1) [which fails to mention at all the "Local" and
"Athena-wide" format differences...]
