There's a crude hack here:
http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/docs/DOC-15687
Basically, there are problems setting timezone in kickstart for some
users.
Works for me. :)
Er .. but that is because my timezone is one of the ones that works.
Thanks for pointing this out John, I'm just expanding this so that
people can search for it better.
If you are setting a timezone during kickstart (and who wouldn't), it
may, or may not work.
There is a bug in anaconda (the installer) so that certain time zones
are missing, so the kickstart part of the installer doesn't
understand them.
Thanks again for pointing this out.

If harping on it helps, would mention that this problems with setting
timezone in ks exists in RHEL 5.3.
I've mentioned it here (and on CentOS) with the idea that the clones
might not stick _too_ closely to RHEL here.
Connie already has looked into it and SL 5.3 Beta 2 should have a patch
fixing this problem.
We already have patches in the installer for other things, so fixing an
actual bug is no big deal for us. :)

I didn't think it would be. I posted the same info to CentOS-dev but
haven't seen a response there, but I don't expect they will have a
problem fixing it either.
The surprise to me is that RH doesn't seem to intend to respin 5.3. I
would be pretty unhappy if I were paying for this stuff and effected,
and unsettled if paying and not affected.
