The more I look into this the more I start to think it may not be a php bug as
I first guess.
php is relying on tzdata package so it should follow what tzdata bundle has in
hand.
I wonder if the change I mentioned in Comment#1 is valid and/or if it
has the appropriate informations for "America/Godthab", because for the
moment it seems to share similar value as southamerica locations
"America/Sao_Paulo" which I wonder if this could be the reason why it
conflicts. If it's not conflicting or something not well taken into
account.
Note that if I set the localtime to "America/Sao_Paulo", I don't see any
conflict.
So it is really when "America/Godthab" is set and/or possibly other invented
'europe' abbreviation adjust in the same commit.
@Thomas,
At this stage, I would contact upstream ML (if any) or the author of the patch :

Bug description:
Using "America/Godthab" timezone, "WGT/WGST" is no longer displayed
from date command but instead just "-03". Problem is evident in PHP
applications too, which now think we're in Sao Paolo.
This appears to have changed with latest tzdata update or perhaps in
combination with change from DST.
Same problem on 16.04, 17.10 and Debian 9.
