Thanks for catching my typo; proposed patch attached and installed into GitHub.

True, but how would that affect tzdb? As I understand it, those regulations
<https://books.google.com/books?id=9as-AQAAIAAJ&pg=PA256> repeal DST, but on
1946-01-06 Gold Coast was already on standard time (having switched from DST on
1946-01-01). Hence on 1946-01-06 there was no clock transition, merely a change
in which regulation was in force.
