Thanks for reporting.  This is a duplicate of bug #15408 which has been
resolved on trunk.

Closing this bug.


BTW: `calendar-daylight-savings-starts-time' and
`calendar-daylight-savings-ends-time' are not important here.  Rather it
is `calendar-daylight-savings-starts' and
`calendar-daylight-savings-ends'.  But you probably would not need to
touch these either.  Please have a look at the "Daylight Saving Time"
section in the Emacs manual.
