Because 2016-04-01T00:00:00 didn't exist in Asia/Amman.  Its DST rules
include a switch from winter time to summer time at 24:00 on the last
Thursday in March.  This has the effect of skipping the hour from 00:00
to 01:00 on some Friday morning.  This year the last Thursday in March was
the last day in March, so the affected Friday was the first day of April.
