That's very disturbing.  It's problematic enough that not all governments give timely notice about time zone rule changes.

But if in addition we have to deal with government agencies supplying deliberately false information, the TZ work becomes that much more difficult.

I wonder if it would make sense for Dr. Eggert to issue a letter of complaint to the Norway government, pointing out the trouble caused by this sort of false information.  It might even make sense to state that doing so will cause us to treat future (possibly real) change notices with doubt and not act on them promptly, as we normally would do given that we normally assume government notices are not deliberately false.
