After looking at the .xsession-errors as suggested, I added my user to Explicit Authorizations in Policy Kit Authorizations under org.gnome.clockapplet.mechanism.Change system time zone. The set time zone button works as expected now. It seems that this should be an allowed default or an explanation should be provided in the error message as to the change in Policy Kit Authorization that needs to be made.
