UTC is a special case. It does not have any single country defined for
it, so ubiquity's timezone plugin does not override debian-
installer/country (which scripts/tzsetup transcribes into
mirror/country).
In the case of US/Eastern, it's more complicated. I think there is
indeed a ubiquity bug here, in that the timezone plugin only sets
debian-installer/country in its ok_handler, which is called when the
user explicitly asks to go to the next page; we need to do this
somewhere else instead (or as well?) for the benefit of installations
where the timezone step has been fully preseeded.
Is there any particular reason why you don't simply preseed 'd-i
mirror/country string US', or whatever country is appropriate? You're
going to have to do that anyway for the UTC case, so you might as well
do it across the board, which would allow you to avoid this problem
entirely.
