A post is made from a WordPress site where the system time is set to UTC-5: Chicago.

It reaches the Fediverse server, which stores time in UTC-0.

The timestamp is 5 hours off when displayed in the user's local time.

But isn't that a bug of the Fediverse Server then?

ActivityPub specifies published here: https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-vocabulary/#dfn-published

It has to be xsd:dateTime which defines:

The time zone may be specified as Z (UTC) or (+|-)hh:mm. Time zones that aren't specified are considered undetermined.
