When you do a "reword" in "rebase -i", it basically does a "cherry-pick" 
of that commit first, then it does a "commit --amend". And your 
pre-commit hook should've been run during the amend.

Does your pre-commit hook work when doing a "commit --amend"? I'm not 
sure if you can actually modify the author (or committer) date from 
inside a pre-commit hook.
