Maybe we should, but we don't.  Try the following on a Linux system:

$ TZ=right/UTC python
>>> datetime.datetime.utcfromtimestamp(1341100823).isoformat()
'2012-06-30T23:59:59'
>>> datetime.datetime.utcfromtimestamp(1341100824).isoformat()
'2012-06-30T23:59:59'
>>> datetime.datetime.utcfromtimestamp(1341100825).isoformat()
'2012-07-01T00:00:00'
