Comment(by hakre):

 it (''timezone_string'') is just not set on install. It can be set on the
 options page (general), currently there is the timezone select element (
 ''wp_timezone_choice()'' ) that will set this option.

 default would be null, false or an empty string. that is at if it would
 not be in the db.

 and while that being empty:
 {{{
 $current_offset = get_option('gmt_offset');
 $tzstring = get_option('timezone_string');
 if (empty($tzstring)) { // set the Etc zone if no timezone string exists
         if ($current_offset < 0) $offnum = - ceil($current_offset);
         else $offnum = - floor($current_offset);
         $tzstring = 'Etc/GMT' . (($offnum >= 0) ? '+' : '') . $offnum;
 }
 }}}

 ''gmt_offset'' is set automatically on install while populating the
 options ( ''populate_options()'' ). this is the important line (~238):
 {{{'gmt_offset' => date('Z') / 3600,}}}.
