Yes, please do. Maybe we have some scenario that is not being handled
right yet. So if you have any test where the user input time is not what
gets stored because of different TZ settings, this would be indeed a bug
and we must go after it. I thought that we had gotten it all already. :)

Your reasoning sounds convincing, yet I won't dig into it more before I
have some test-case where something really wents wrong (meaning wrong
data being stored).
