It smells like a OS bug. I can reproduce it as well (probably, because my
system also originates in SVR4 ;-) This happens (in my OS at least) under
very special cases. I can describe it, if you are interested. It has
nothing to do with ZSH - I can send you small test program which shows
this problem.
As for your description - untill TZ is exported, time functions, which are
used by ZSH, just don't see it and use some fallback value (UTC in our
case -- obviously MET in your case). If you export empty TZ - it is the
same, as unset it. As soon as TZ is exported, it triggers this bug.
Just interseted: on my system exporting full TZ specification is buggy,
but exporting just "TZ=CET-1CEST-2,M3.5.0/02:00:00" works fine.
OTOH who needs to change TZ on the fly ;-}
