Follow-up Comment #2:

Looked into this a bit, it is not the gnulib function that is to blame. Octave
doesn't save/restore the "gmtoff" field in a struct tm when converting to and
from octave values, so an uninitialized random value is passed to the
underlying strftime C function.

This would be an enhancement to support the "%z" format conversion by
preserving the "gmtoff" field correctly.
