I have compile the php upstream source code from :
https://github.com/php/php-src

# php --version
PHP 7.3.0-dev (cli) (built: Nov 30 2017 14:52:31) ( NTS )
Copyright (c) 1997-2017 The PHP Group

# date

#php php_tz.php
UTC

I'll do a bisection, and will update the bug.

Title:
  tzdata info for WGT/WGST broken

Status in php5 package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in php7.0 package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in tzdata package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Using "America/Godthab" timezone, "WGT/WGST" is no longer displayed
  from date command but instead just "-03". Problem is evident in PHP
  applications too, which now think we're in Sao Paolo.

  This appears to have changed with latest tzdata update or perhaps in
  combination with change from DST.

  Same problem on 16.04, 17.10 and Debian 9.
