When the published API has been "the system clock is in UTC" for some 3
decades, I hardly think it's acceptable to call apps "buggy" for assuming that
the system clock is in fact using UTC and breaking if you switch it to
something that's not UTC.  And the new time *has* to have different semantics
than UTC, because if it doesn't then what's the point of changing it?
