Steve,
 
Sorry but this information appears to be incorrect.  Let's look at my vanilla
X.50.50 system...
 
/etc/profile contains:
 
# Set the following variable to the appropriate value for the timezone
# you are in. Refer to the timezone manual page in section 5 of the
# reference manual for more information.
export TZ=GMT0
 
And within the shell I get:

shell/iX> env
TZ=GMT0
shell/iX> callci "showvar tz"
TZ = MST7
