Subject: guix browsers timezones are set to GMT

Hi Guix
I see timezones in browsers on my guix system are set to GMT.
An example would be qutebrowser and guessing ungoogled-chromium which
use qtwebengine.
Example website is browsing to
https://play.grafana.org/d/000000012/grafana-play-home?orgId=1
in qutebrowser one can run ":jseval alert(new Date().toString())" From
https://play.grafana.org/ and it reports GMT+0000 .
Browsing to the above with epiphany results in the correct local
timezone being set.
I understand for fingerprinting and privacy it's nice to have a
website not detect your correct timezone, though I'd prefer to have my
timezone detected correctly in these browsers.
Does guix do something special in the packaging of
qutebrowser/ungoogled-chromium/qtwebengine that causes this?
It seems to not occur on my colleagues systems with the same browsers.
I see my timezone on my system like so:
(operating-system
(host-name "example")
(timezone "Africa/Johannesburg")
(locale "en_US.utf8")
