I get the timestamp of the original on Solaris-8/cvs-1.12.9,
RHEL-5/cvs-1.12.12 and Ubuntu-8.04/cvs-1.12.13.  I can reproduce it
without emacs, just by doing "cvs edit Makefile; touch Makefile; cvs
unedit Makefile".

I notice that the timestamp is stored in CVS/Entries.  It looks like the
timestamp my working copy was last updated or checked in.  I guess that
is where cvs is getting it from, because the timestamp is not of the
revision in the repository itself.  I don't recall doing anything
unusual when I set up the repository.

Can anyone else reproduce this?

Even if not, wouldn't a vc-revert-hook be a good idea?
