I think that the current ~upstream for the tzcode is supposed to be 
https://github.com/eggert/tz/ , but I haven't checked particularly 
recently.  (There was some excitement involving a legal action, etc., so 
it had gone away and/or moved.)  That said, I don't see a BUGS section at 
all in the newctime.3 in that repo, and I also don't see the erroneous 
line you quote in the history of that repo, so ... I'm not sure what 
happened.

Definitely not!

PR is fine, it gives us a place to look when we need to find things.

Thanks for pointing it out.  I'll try to think about what the best route 
to a fix is.
