Description:
------------
The following formats cause strange time difference of 12 hours.

- 'back of 1 Asia/Tokyo'
- 'first of 1 Asia/Tokyo'

The test script was executed on 2015-03-05 01:34:00 +0900.

Test script:
---------------
<?php

// Set PHP default timezone into UTC.
date_default_timezone_set('UTC');

// Checked items.
$list = [
    'now' => [
        'now' => null,
        'now Asia/Tokyo' => null,
        'Asia/Tokyo now' => null,
        'now +0900' => null,
        '+0900 now' => null,
    ],
    'next hour' => [
        'next hour' => null,
        'next hour Asia/Tokyo' => null,
        'Asia/Tokyo next hour' => null,
        'next hour +0900' => null,
        '+0900 next hour' => null,
    ],
    'front of 1' => [
        'front of 1' => null,
        'front of 1 Asia/Tokyo' => null,
        'Asia/Tokyo front of 1' => null,
        'front of 1 +0900' => null,
        '+0900 front of 1' => null,
    ],
    'back of 1' => [
        'back of 1' => null,
        'back of 1 Asia/Tokyo' => null,
        'Asia/Tokyo back of 1' => null,
        'back of 1 +0900' => null,
        '+0900 back of 1' => null,
    ],
];

// Temporarily Change computer time into 23:30:00 UTC.
exec('net start w32time');
exec('tzutil /s "UTC"');
exec('time 23:30:00');

// Test it.
array_walk_recursive($list, function (&$v, $k) {
    $v = (new \DateTime($k))->format('Y-m-d H:i:s e');
});

// Recover computer time.
exec('tzutil /s "Tokyo Standard Time"');
exec('w32tm /resync');
exec('net stop w32time');

// Output results.
print_r($list);

?>
