A similar bug has already reported at Sun. It is marked as being in progress, but I have no idea how long it might take until Sun takes care of it.
See http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6456628
Another fix for this bug might be to rewrite the scanning of /usr/share/zoneinfo to continue if a file is found that is identical to /etc/localtime, but whose name does not correspond to a time zone known to Java.
