CQL timestamps and timezones

[B. Todd Burruss]

trying to figure out if i'm doing something wrong or a bug.  i am
creating a simple schema, inserting a timestamp using ISO8601 format,
but when retrieving the timestamp, the timezone is displayed
incorrectly.  i'm inserting using GMT, the result is shown with
"+0000", but the time is for my local timezone (-0800)

tried with 1.1.6 (DSE 2.2.1), and 1.2.0-rc1-SNAPSHOT

here's the trace:
