Yes, that matches my conclusion too and was what I was trying to convey
in the commit message.

How about my patch? Notice that format-time-string is invoked with ZONE
set to t so that TIME is always taken as UTC.
Examples
--------
;;; locale en_US.UTF-8
;; local time zone (Japan in this demo)
(format-time-string "%A %T %z" 259200) => "Sunday 09:00:00 +0900"
;; force UTC
(format-time-string "%A %T %z" 259200 t) => "Sunday 00:00:00 +0000"
;; locale de_BE.UTF-8
;; local time zone
(format-time-string "%A %T %z" 259200) => "Sonntag 09:00:00 +0900"
;; force UTC
(format-time-string "%A %T %z" 259200 t) => "Sonntag 00:00:00 +0000"
