I have a similar problem. I am in Pakistan where the timezone is normally GMT + 5. However at the moment we are in + 1 DST, i.e. GMT + 6. Android thinks that Pakistan is GMT + 5 throughout the year. I have the same problems as you with text message and google calendar times. I too would appreciate any advice or suggestions to manually correct this.
