I don't know. This is one of those things that needs to be tested on
different OS. Once we are back on summer time I can try putenv("TZ=")
and see if it works on our hosts. (On Solaris TZ gets set by default; I
don't know if killing it reverts to GMT or to local time. While they are
the same, I can't test!) Some OS have unsetenv() which might work. It's
another of those "no two Unixes are the same" phenomena, it seems.

I am coming to that conclusion myself. Defaulting to local time is also
indicated for backwards compatibility.
