You're getting confused by timezones.  Since you didn't include a
specific timezone on the command line, CVS assumes your local timezone
(which appears to be two hours later than UTC -- note that the sticky
date in the Entries file is 1999-09-08 13:27:00 UTC).  If you change
that command to:

        cvs -D "1999-09-08 15:27 UTC" checkout test/f.txt

it will work as you expect.
