Alexander, looks like you hit a weirdness in the Europe/London timezone for 
dates before 31-Oct-1971, as if DST was in effect even in winter.  And the fail 
of the test is caused by the same bug that causes issue 10941: the use of 
mktime to interpret the values from an internal time string (which should not 
be dealing with timezones, but rather explicit offsets from UTC, before 
converting to localtime).
