Here's the package versions I tested on: coreutils-8.21-21.fc20.x86_64 tzdata-2014c-1.fc20.noarch And some versions in HREL6 don't work either. I heard that newer version no longer has this problem, sorry for troubling. This is the version I heard it works well: coreutils-8.22-11.el7.x86_64 tzdata-2014b-1.el7.noarch As I saw this problem both exist in Fedora and RHEL, I thought it might be a problem in the up stream, hence why I shot my mail too fast to you instead of shooting to Red Hat Bugzilla.

CST in the above is being interpreted as US Central Standard Time. For Central Standard Time it is correct. CST is one of the ambiguous timezones that Pádraig referred to. This is one of the reasons "date -R" with the unambiguous numeric timezones is the better output format.
