I've tried to create a test case for this.  Please run epicsTimeZoneTest in src/libCom/test and report the results.

git clone --branch tztest https://github.com/mdavidsaver/epics-base.git
cd epics-base
make -C src libCom/test
./src/libCom/test/O.*/epicsTimeZoneTest.exe

I've already found that _tzset() with WINE 1.6.2 doesn't seem to have any effect, so the tests fail.

The problem is that though the StandardDate / DaylightDate members of TIME_ZONE_INFORMATION are SYSTEMTIME structures, they have slightly different interpretations of their contents than usual in particular   wDay == 5  means "last occurrence of wDayOfWeek in the month" rather than "5th day of month". One solution would be to use the status returned by GetTimeZoneInformation() which now seems to include the DST status, but I think the epicsTime_localtime() implementation could actually be replace by something simpler like (give or take a NULL pointer check):
