Paul, could you have a look please? Thanks for reporting this. I fixed the bug by installing the attached patch to emacs-25. By the way, the value "UTC" is not portable to non-GNU systems, and POSIX says that in theory it could cause Emacs to crash. The value should be "UTC0" or (in Emacs 25) t. I see that some of Emacs's own source files have this issue, and plan to look into that.
