I've run some further tests on this now.  SMS sent from any network and
received by kannel have the incorrect date attached.  For testing purposes I
only have Orange and O2 to test with in the UK.  The kannel gateway runs on
the O2 SIM card.  My results are:

Kannel -> Kannel = incorrect date
O2     -> kannel = incorrect date
Orange -> kannel = incorrect date
Kannel -> O2     = correct date
O2     -> O2     = correct date
Orange -> O2     = correct date
Kannel -> Orange = correct date
O2     -> Orange = correct date
Orange -> Orange = correct date

This is looking more like a bug in kannel.
