I'm not seeing that; the behavior I'm seeing is the behavior that you say is 
correct. For example, "zdump -Vc 2018,2019 America/Grand_Turk" outputs:

America/Grand_Turk  Sun Mar 11 06:59:59 2018 UT = Sun Mar 11 02:59:59 2018 AST 
isdst=0 gmtoff=-14400
America/Grand_Turk  Sun Mar 11 07:00:00 2018 UT = Sun Mar 11 03:00:00 2018 EDT 
isdst=1 gmtoff=-14400
America/Grand_Turk  Sun Nov  4 05:59:59 2018 UT = Sun Nov  4 01:59:59 2018 EDT 
isdst=1 gmtoff=-14400
America/Grand_Turk  Sun Nov  4 06:00:00 2018 UT = Sun Nov  4 01:00:00 2018 EST 
isdst=0 gmtoff=-18000
