I'm not sure why, given that the tzdb newstrftime man page doesn't mention TZ. 
The tzdb strftime() *code* will use tm_zone if the code is configured to
support it, falls back on using tzname[] and tm_isdst if tzname[] is present,
and otherwise replace %Z with the empty string, so it's only directly affected
by the TZ setting if struct tm doesn't contain tm_zone.
