Servers (and every other Unix/Linux box) ALWAYS use UTC. The time zone is only specified for the purpose of DISPLAYING the time in some locale where the system resides. The only things that should care about the time zone are those that generate output for human consumption (such as log entries), and this is usually automated.
For a system to not boot in a particular time zone is a serious bug, but you should not blame the problem on the time zone, you should blame the problem on whatever is broken in some critical piece of code that probably should not be using local time.
