Okay, so this is a workaround. What I ended up doing was symlinking (manually) 
/usr/share/zoneinfo/myrelevanttimezone to /etc/localtime.

After that, because it still bothered me that it didn't work for me as it did 
other people. I unmasked the systemd-timedated.service with the command:

systemctl unmask systemd-timedated.service

Now, it works as John described. I'm not sure why it was masked, though. 
Perhaps fodder for a future enquiry.

Although I am glad that I have the right time zone now. :^)
