Many thanks for the report! This test case is indeed new since
the last DST change. We would have found out about it anyway
when the buildfarm went red this coming Sunday :-(, but with a
release deadline coming up fast, several extra days' notice is
hugely valuable.

Sadly, anything to do with time zones is subject to the whims
of politicians, not to mention the IANA tzdb crew. So there's
only so much we can do.
