You can easily reproduce (at least on Gentoo) by copying /usr/share/zoneinfo/Factory to /etc/localtime.
By checking for this exact message, I don't think the chance is very high that we're hiding a Python bug. I also think that Python tests should test Python; if we see this message, we know we can't reliably test Python, in which case I think a skipped test (hey, we can't test this!) is better than a failed test (implication that Python failed).
