When you visit the file initially, what version state does it show on
the mode line?  Does it show something like "CVS-1.1", or "CVS:1.1".
The latter would mean that Emacs already considers the file edited when
you first visit it.

Emacs considers the file edited if the time stamp in CVS/Entries and the
mtime of the working file do not agree.  You could check these time
stamps for an unmodified file, you could also try and step through
vc-cvs-parse-entry, to see if the time stamps are properly analyzed.

Maybe it's a timezone issue?
