Cannot make zone.parse create given time (DST)

When leaving DST time, time is shifted back an hour, so we get two ambiguous times. I cannot seem to find a way to control which one is returned by ActiveSupport::TimeZone.parse:

(e.g. in activesupport/test/time_zone_test.rb)

  def test_parse_on_dst_boundary
    zone = ActiveSupport::TimeZone['Moscow']
    zone.stubs(:now).returns zone.local(2009,4,5)

    assert_equal Time.utc(2008,10,25,21), zone.parse('2008-10-26 1:00')

    assert_equal Time.utc(2008,10,25,22), zone.parse('2008-10-26 2:00')

    #This fails - I don't know how to make zone.parse give the equiv. UTC time
    assert_equal Time.utc(2008,10,25,23), zone.parse('2008-10-26 2:00 MSK +0300').utc

    assert_equal Time.utc(2008,10,26,0),  zone.parse('2008-10-26 3:00')

  end

NOTE: the additonal 'MSK +0300' of course isn't parsed properly - this is just for the sake of the example.

I have no idea how to make zone.parse '2:00' into the time I want - 23:00 UTC instead of 22:00 UTC.

I wouldn't be surprised if this is resolved as "wont fix". I would love to debug this and create a patch, but I have no idea if and how this can be nicely solved. How can I allow entering a time (e.g. '2:00') in a timezone without it being ambiguous?

The best I can think of is extending zone.parse to handle:

"2:00 D" (DST version, 22:00 UTC) -> 2:00 MSD

and

"2:00 K" (non-DST version, 23:00 UTC) -> 2:00 MSK

Any comments or suggestions?
