Well, good news, everyone, the tz-code has been changed to clear the confusion
between Indonesian and English abbreviation. Now it uses Indonesian
abbreviation

http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/tz-announce/2013-September/000013.html

I've checked on min.wp by leaving a signature, and it's been changed
accordingly (it used to be WIT -- English abbreviation, now WIB -- Indonesian
abbreviation). 

I'll close this bug as fixed.
