That sounds right; thanks for bringing this to our attention.  As I
mentioned I'm inclined to call it America/Argentina/Ushuaia due to the
ambiguity problem with America/San_Juan.  I'll put this into my next
proposed patch in a day or two unless someone objects.

At latitude 54 degrees 48 minutes south, the new Zone entry will be
the most southerly outside Antarctica.
