When I get the wrong result, the first DateTime object has its time zone set

The object is created like so:
my %tmp;
@tmp{qw/ year month day hour minute second /} =
$current_delivery_date =~ /(\d+)/g;
my $dt = DateTime->new(%tmp, time_zone => 'local');
Then, I check the name of the time zone with:
$dt->time_zone->name
and sometimes it's UTC.
Do you have any guesses as to why this could be happening?
Sometimes DateTime::TimeZone thinks your local time zone is UTC. I have no
idea why it'd would be doing this. You could hack up a local copy of
DateTime::TimeZone::Local::Unix and have it spit out everything it's doing
and what it finds.
Either it's doing something wrong or your system is very oddly configured.
