[Bug 837054] [NEW] Time Zone selection shows about 20 different "New York"s and doesn't autoselect my location

[Jeff Lane]

Public bug reported:

This is an install test of Oneiric B1 on a VBox VM.  I'm running 64bit
Oneiric on a 64bit VM.

When the timezone selection opens up after installation begins, my time
zone is not automatically selected as it has been in previous versions.
When I type in New York, a selection box opens up listing New York about
20 - 30 times, most of them being identical entries, some being weird,
like "New York borg" and "New York kenti".
