Thank you for taking the time to report that.
I believe that was fixed by the gnulib commit below,
so I'm marking this as "done".

    test-parse-datetime.c: avoid new DST-related false positive test failure

    * tests/test-parse-datetime.c (gmt_offset): Determine the "gmt_offset"
    based on the time/date we'll convert, not the current time.
    Otherwise, the moment we cross a DST boundary like today's in
    Europe, (CEST to CET), that offset ends up being one hour off.
