Why not?  If the programmer is using strict tzinfos how would they end up with an invalid t?

I only see two ways:

   - constructing from a literal (in which case an exception should be raised)

   - t is using a non-strict or missing tzinfo, possibly from an addition or subtraction
     (in which case we can't know which direction they were going and should not guess
     -- so raise an exception)
