Comment (by nacin):

 [attachment:19601.diff] attempts to localize gmt_offset and
 timezone_string.

 Unfortunately, our changes back in 2.9 to always set UTC means that
 `date('Z') / 3600` will always return 0. (Some commentary in #10940  and
 elsewhere.) In fairness, server time is not particularly effective for
 determining timezones, so I don't think it is worth a hack to store the
 initial timezone string before loading the bootstrap, as I first
 considered. (This isn't the only dead code in upgrade.php that tries in
 vain to get the server's offset, only to do math with a bunch of zeroes.)

 We should go forward with this patch, and try to work in client detection
 of timezones to benefit all users, such as #10660.
