Comment (by westi):

 Note with the above fix the user who has set the dodgy data still gets
 these Warnings and Notices:

 {{{
     WARNING: wp-includes/functions.php:4082 - timezone_open() [function
 .timezone-open]: Unknown or bad timezone (Garbage)
     WARNING: wp-includes/functions.php:126 - timezone_open() [function
 .timezone-open]: Unknown or bad timezone (Garbage)
     WARNING: wp-includes/functions.php:127 - date_create() expects
 parameter 2 to be DateTimeZone, boolean given
     WARNING: wp-includes/functions.php:130 - date_format() expects
 parameter 1 to be DateTime, boolean given

     NOTICE: wp-admin/options-general.php:176 - date_default_timezone_set()
 [function.date-default-timezone-set]: Timezone ID 'Garbage' is invalid
 }}}

 I would be happy to leave fixing these till 3.3 :)
