My guess is that you have to set ACPI wake times to *exactly* the time zone
you use your RTC in.  Typically UTC, but semi-broken MS-compatible setups
use the local time zone.

The kernel can know the timezone, but almost nobody ever sets that right,
and it is not summer-time aware anyway (too complex).  It is best to just
keep everything UTC as far as the kernel goes, *including* the RTC.
