I'm not sure why you think this is a Unix-level thing?  It appears to be
a Zope issue, from the bug reports you pointed us to.

So, I'd suggest the Zope bug-tracker (DateTime.DateTime.toZone is a Zope
thing) as a good place to agitate for a fix.

It looks to me as if variants of this bug have plagued Zope since 2002.
