This rings a bell, but I think it's a different (perhaps related) bug
that I can't find right now. This bug is when the system timezone
doesn't get picked up by default at all.

The upstream PHP project appear to prefer it this way, and aren't
interested in changing this. So multiple distributions (Debian/Ubuntu,
Fedora/RHEL/CentOS, others?) have to patch in what they think is better
behaviour, and this regresses sometimes. See https://bugs.debian.org
/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=618462#10 for some further background.
