Confirmed in betalabs - not specific to mobile, but specific to discrepancy of the timestamps on Notifications page and the flyout.

  1. The discrepancy of one hour in Messages

Off hand, this sounds like a discrepency between MomentJS and MW dates. @Catrope Could it be we're not completely synchronized between these?

After the overhaul of Special:Notifications the issue is not reproducible anymore - tried in 1.28.0-alpha (b095791) and 1.28.0-wmf.10.
