Yes, I have confirmed that when you do a dateAdd() of seconds since the 
epoch (1/1/70) that puts you in DST, the dateAdd() adds an unexpected 
additional hour, in other words:

   <cfset theEpoch = "01-01-1970 00:00:00"/>
   <cfset secsSinceEpoch = dateDiff('s', theEpoch, someDateAndTime) />
   <cfset reconstitutedDate = dateAdd('s', secsSinceEpoch, theEpoch) />

reconstitutedDate will be one hour off from someDateAndTime if the date 
is in DST.
