After some further checking, I've noticed the same problem also applies
when %s is used as part of the string (e.g. P%sT in
America/Los_Angeles). For America/Los_Angeles, the switch from LMT
happens in 1883, but the first rule is not until 1918. Is there a
standard for these types of zones in the absence of a rule (e.g. S/D)?
Thanks,
