It's folly to make such an assertion without having checked tzdb ;-).
DST laws change from time to time.

A bit of experimentation shows that Postgres does think both those
zones were observing DST on 2004-10-19, and I would be quite surprised
if it's wrong about that. (Even if it's wrong, that would be tzdb's
bug not ours.)
