Probably.

I do not think the definition of "wrong" is so clear.
I would not disagree that showing the authordate in timezone the
author was not in means --local-zone is showing a wrong zone,
but "show timestamps in _my_ zone" is what the option is
specifically asking for.
Originally I did it without timezone, but later I found it
amusing to see "log --since=2007-03-10 --until=2007-03-12".
Note: in TZ=US/Pacific you would see -0700 and -0800
during the above commit-time range.
