Very weird, since old zdump should work with new tzdata, within reason. 
And I don't observe the problem on an Ubuntu 20.04.5 LTS x86-64 host 
with current patches that include tzdata 2022g (see transcript below). 
So I suspect you have a corrupted copy of America/Ojinaga, or something 
like that. I am attaching my system's copy which you should be able to 
test by using its absolute file name, e.g., by running "zdump -V -c 
2022,2023 /tmp/Ojinaga" if you save it into /tmp.

$ grep VERSION= /etc/os-release
VERSION="20.04.5 LTS (Focal Fossa)"
$ dpkg-query -l tzdata | grep tzdata
ii  tzdata         2022g-0ubuntu0.20.04.1 all          time zone and 
daylight-saving time data
$ ls -l /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Ojinaga
