Bug Description

I have observed this bug in Ubuntu 22.04 and Ubuntu 24.04.

To reproduce:
* Set the system time to a timezone that does not have DST, e.g. `sudo timedatectl set-timezone Africa/Tunis`
* Add at least one timezone to the Gnome World Clocks that does have DST, e.g. London or Paris.
* Wait for DST to change in the other timezone.
* Note the incorrect 'timezone offset' column for the remote timezone(s) (circled in red in the left-hand screenshot). Interestingly, the 'time' column is correct for every timezone.
* Change the system timezone and then change it back, e.g. `sudo timedatectl set-timezone America/Los_Angeles && sudo timedatectl set-timezone Africa/Tunis` --OR-- reboot.
* Note the 'timezone offset' column is correct now (the right-hand screenshot).
