Please change this to WONTFIX. The confusing entries are part of the upstream tz database, and they've been there 20 years or so. They are present only for backward-compatibility reasons for decades-old usage, which are discussed in the "etcetera" file of the tzdata distribution. The confusing entries should not be used by new applications, and are not likely to change in the future (unless they're simply removed entirely).
