I just had a read through split_ident_line() and it looks to me like it
will ignore any junk after the timezone. So long as it sees '+' or '-'
followed by at least one digit it will use that for the time zone and
return success regardless of what follows it so I think we want to pay
attention to the end data it returns for the date and timezone.

Good point, I had forgotten that split_ident_line() returned separate
fields for the date and timezone. I agree that we want the timezone here
too. I I think it would be a good idea to beef up the tests to use a
non default timezone to check that we are actually setting it correctly.
