Well, I'm not familiar with Date::Parse or the timezones in question, but if
you can find a credible source for the claim that this is the case, then
please file a bug on the Date::Parse bug-tracker:
https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Dist/Display.html?Name=TimeDate
Thanks for reporting it here, and I'm looking forward to a bug report on its
bugtracker.
