Part of the confusion here is that the zone names in the zic database
follow POSIX rules: plus is west of Greenwich. AFAICS it's doing the
right thing in selecting Etc/GMT-12 for you. Have you checked the
actual time values reported by the server to see if they look okay?
I'm a bit hesitant to reverse the sign convention in the zic database to
agree with SQL conventions --- that seems certain to lead to even more
confusion.
