I'll stand somewhat corrected on this. I retested, and c89 -E now works
correctly, presumably in consequence of:
APAR Identifier ...... PK17058 Last Changed ........ 06/02/02
FROM USS THE COMPILER SHOULD RESPECT THE
TZ ENVIRONMENT VARIABLE.
Symptom ...... IN INCORROUT Status ........... CLOSED PER
Severity ................... 3 Date Closed ......... 05/12/20
Why does the C compiler run as "a POSIX(OFF) application"?
But when I reported the problem 5 years earlier, I encountered considerable
resistance from support, likely as a result of the POSIX(OFF) entanglements.
It wound up with:

Hi Paul, Just checking if this is something you are still interested
in pursuing at this time. I will go ahead and inform the development
team of the problem demonstrated in my previous example. It will be
something we will look into for a future release unless we've missed
the mark on the problem or impact. Will keep the record open for
another week pending your feedback. Thanks, ...

RESPOND ELECTRONICALLY: c89TZ (User Keyword).
Hello,
FIN certainly seems appropriate to me.
I should know better than to take FIN, but I sensed that was the best I'd
get. In fact, no APAR was generated at that time, and the problem persisted
for four more years.
