The "right" timezones take leap seconds into account, so this isn't
surprising.

(We don't actually support leap seconds, so I wonder whether we
shouldn't filter those zones out of the view. They're not there at all
if you set up Postgres to use an internal tz database, but I suppose we
have to accept that they're likely to be present in a system-supplied tz
database.)
