The test passes with perl -w -T t/00-load.pl. It also passes with 'prove'.
I took a guess and removed the -T flag from the test script and 'make test' now works. I think Module::Starter puts that into the 00-load.t test by default. Thanks for your help and sorry to bug you with something that turned out to not be related to DateTime.

That will also set you see more output from the test, which will hopefully lead you to the exact problem - something to do with your local timezone settings, as you surmised.
