this is incorrect. time stays the same. you can verify with date -n.
plan 9 keeps time in utc. in fact the timezone is just an environment
variable. so two different programs on the same machine can be set
to different timezones.
your problem is with the rtc. it sounds like between your install and your
reboot, the rtc was accidentally changed from utc to local time. this
may be a bug in plan 9's installer, but i suspect it was something else
you ran.
