Installation was done from the daily-build s390 ISO images.

Scenario:

1. Answering the inital dialogs asking for the location with
"Europe/Berlin"

2. In the further course of the installation the "Configure the clock"
dialog appears:

   ???????????????????????????? [!] Configure the clock ???????????????????????                                    
   ?                                                                       ?                                   
   ? Based on your present physical location, your time zone is Europe/London.       ?                                   
   ?                                                                       ?                                   
   ? If this is not correct, you may select from a full list of time zones instead.  ?                                   
   ?                                                                       ?                                   
   ? Is this time zone correct?                                                      ?                                   
   ?                                                                       ?                                   
   ?     <Go Back>                                                <Yes>    <No>     ?                                   
   ?                                                                       ?                                   
   ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? 

   Since the location was previously set to "Europe/Berlin" the shown time zone
   "Europe/London" is not accepted and the dialog is answered with "<no>".

3. Although an upcoming "full list of time zone" is promised, such a list is never displayed
    and the dialog progresses to the configuration of DASD devices.

4. After installation is finished and the new system is started, the date command
    shows the time zone of CET which corresponds to the "Europe/Berlin" setting.

So the behaviour of the "Configure the clock" dialog is not correct.

Probably this issue also applies to previous versions since
I found the same behaviour of the "Configure the clock" dialog when
installing Ubuntu 16.04.2.

Installation logs/information from the /var/log/installer directory are
attached.
