time applet doesn't show NYC timezone, time is always UTC if I pick New York, USA

[atarixle]

I'm living in germany, so I use to pick CET time when installing Ubuntu (this may be helpful to reproduce that bug).

When I want to pick the New York Time Zone in the Clock Indicator, I always get the UTC time, either I pick New York City from the list.

Even switching to florida time doesn't work, I still get UTC instead of West Coast Time.

This bug has been in Ubuntu 11.10 too, now in 12.04 LTS "PRECISE" it is still there!
