Description:
------------
For the hour where the clock changes, date() reports the correct offset/timezone abbreviation, and date_format() reports the incorrect offset, appearing to use the offset for an hour later.

Test script:
---------------
// http://3v4l.org/GVjMn
date_default_timezone_set("America/New_York");
$timeStamp = 1352008800;

$date= date(DateTime::ISO8601, $timeStamp);
$dateTime = new DateTime();
$dateTime->setTimestamp($timeStamp);
$dateFormat = date_format($dateTime, DateTime::ISO8601);
echo "Date: $date\nDateFormat: $dateFormat\n";

Expected result:
----------------
Both lines the same:
Date: 2012-11-04T01:00:00-0500
DateFormat: 2012-11-04T01:00:00-0500

Actual result:
--------------
Date: 2012-11-04T01:00:00-0500
DateFormat: 2012-11-04T01:00:00-0400

It appears that this is caused by $dateTime->setTimestamp().

The following code works fine:
$dateTime = new DateTime("@$timeStamp");
$dateTime->setTimezone(new DateTimeZone("America/New_York"));
$dateFormat = $dateTime->format(DateTime::ISO8601);

Due to the way you created the datetime-object the calculations were wrong. As David Sheldon pointed out when done in the intended way everything works out correctly.
