Yeah, according to Wikipedia WA trialled DST from 3/12/06 to 2009, so these
errors start 12 months before and occur again at the end of 2008 for Perth.

I've tried the same test around 30 June and 3 December and found no more
issues. Testing end of March/start of April finds only single hours (and no
exceptions) in the range of the normal DST changes, including Perth in
2007-09. Similarly for norther hemisphere time zones in late
September/early October.
