R's src/main/datetime.c does A LOT of munging to the output of
strptime and I wouldn't be surprised if they're making nonportable
assumptions about it. Note that the underlying C strptime function has
nothing to do with timezones or time conversion; it's basically just a
time-tailored sscanf that reads integers and strings from the input
string and converts them into values in the fields of struct tm.
It also looks like R isn't even calling the system strptime but
instead using its own R_strptime. I think that supports my theory that
the problem is in the munging being done after the string is parsed.
