Ah ha!  The problem is timezone specific but I can reliably reproduce it
now in at least these zones:

- Europe/London
- Europe/Dublin  
- Portugal
- Atlantic/Madeira
- Antarctica/Troll
- Africa/Bissau 
- Africa/Abidjan 
- Africa/Monrovia 
- Atlantic/Faroe

So it seems to be related to zones which are UTC+0:00 in standard time,
though UTC itself works fine, as do Europe/Vienna, Asia/Singapore, and
America/Juneau.

(Pip Cet, now in CC, reported this to me for Europe/Dublin some time
ago, which was an important clue.  Thanks!)

I'll have to look into it more carefully to come up with a fix but now
at least I can reproduce it and debug it.
