Hm, works for me:

regression=# select * from pg_timezone_names;
name | abbrev | utc_offset | is_dst
----------------------------------------+--------+------------+--------
Africa/Accra | GMT | 00:00:00 | f
Africa/Algiers | CET | 01:00:00 | f
Africa/Bissau | GMT | 00:00:00 | f
Africa/Casablanca | +01 | 01:00:00 | t
... etc etc ...
W-SU | MSK | 03:00:00 | f
Poland | CET | 01:00:00 | f
Kwajalein | +12 | 12:00:00 | f
NZ-CHAT | +1345 | 13:45:00 | t
(1187 rows)

My guess is you've got an installation problem that prevents PG
from finding the tzdb file tree. But it's hard to debug that
on the strength of no information about the server configuration.
In any case, I don't think this is a documentation issue ...
