Comment(by ryan):

 timezone_identifiers_list() in my PHP 5.3 doesn't return 'Etc' timezones
 which are used to display UTC offsets.  WP maps gmt_offset to Etc zones
 when timezone_string is not set. Since there are no Etc zones being
 returned from timezone_identifiers_list, the dropdown doesn't have the
 correct zone set as default and Abidjan ends up being displayed since it
 is first in the list.
