 For the Allegro case (at least) your signature line says it all: RedHat
5.

 Acl 4.3 has problems running under Red Hat 5.0.   RH5 uses a new
C library (glibc) whereas Acl uses the old C library and the
backward compatibility offered old C library users is not complete.

 Thus Acl is given the wrong value for the time zone by the C library
and thus it gives you the wrong answer for encode-universal-time.

 Your test case works correctly in Acl 4.3 on Red Hat 4.
