Comment (by nerrad):

 I should probably explain more why this is a problem.

 On sites where a `timezone_string` is defined, the `timezone_string`
 overrides any call to `get_option( 'gmt_offset' )` and provides the offset
 derived from the timezone_string (via a `pre_option` filter callback set
 in `default-filters.php`).  To get this offset, the _current time_ is
 used.
