Comment(by solarissmoke):

 From the patch in #13173, I propose that a introducing function like this:

 {{{
 /**
  * Get the gmt_offset at a specified time. This is different from using
 get_option('gmt_offset')
  * because it lets you specify a time in the past or future (where the
 daylight savings may be different
  * from the current time. Defaults to the gmt_offset option if timezone
 support doesn't exist, or if the
  * timestamp argument is omitted.
  *
  * @since
  * @return float|bool
  */
 function get_gmt_offset($timestamp = 'now') {
         // if no timestamp is supplied, or if PHP doesn't support fancy
 timezone handling, just get the option
         if('now' == $timestamp || !wp_timezone_supported() )
                 return get_option('gmt_offset');

         return wp_timezone_override_offset($timestamp);
 }
 }}}

 Would help solve both these issues.
