​What Tom said - though I missed the part about "the timezone when the data
was entered" - I was thinking it was only ​the timezone at the time of the
dump that would impact things.

To your example - testing in UTC is going to always result in failure for Z
values <= 0 since they will all result in a UTC date of 2011-01-01.
Choosing +06 would result in a passed test.
