Bug Description

As seen in https://answers.edge.launchpad.net/launchpad/+question/100666, the use of a newer pytz in Launchpad than on the system hosting the wiki means that a user can make it impossible for themselves to log in to the wiki.

I don't know what to do about this.

This cannot be addressed in Launchpad, as Launchpad has no way of knowing which timezones are valid to a given OpenID consumer. It is the consumer's responsibility to validate the information Launchpad provides.
