Comment (by nacin):

 Thanks for the report. The timezone list comes directly from PHP, so it
 sounds like https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=66102 is the issue. We've
 looked into a better UI for this (like #10660) but that won't change where
 the list comes from.

 It's possible that WP core acts weird when a chosen timezone is no longer
 defined, which could be why it shows Africa/Abidjan (which would be about
 0 lat/long). That said resetting to UTC-0 is just about the only thing we
 can do here.
