If you set TZ=":Europe/Berlin", it will correctly return "Europe/Berlin".
The patch will ignore TZ=":/etc/localtime" because the timezone name
will get read from /etc/timezone (which is what should be happening).
It will not work if you put an absolute path into your TZ env var. Which is
not what any guide/manual encourages you to do so, so, honestly, I'd close
such bugreport as invalid. There are 4 other ways to read a system timezone,
just use one of those.
Feel free to submit another patch reading an absolute path correctly however.

Yes.
