> I'm not sure this sounds like the right way to fix this - the Checks run
against multiple timezones for good reason, we want to be sure that processors
can handle changes in locale. Having to set the tests to use a specific
timezone to pass, seems like we might be hiding a potential issue either in the
tests or the processor code itself.

I will try to take a closer look at the tests soon, but I agree, changing
the default timezone in test setup code is not the right approach.
All of the automated builds run with different timezones to ensure expected
behavior in various locations, so all tests must pass without changing the
system timezone.
In general, the issue means that there is some timezone conversion
happening, which could point to a runtime issue, or simply an issue with the
sample data used for testing. I'm not sure exactly why this has not surfaced
earlier, so it points to an issue with the test-related changes.
