Oh, that's interesting. I get a different output here which includes the 
time zone:

~/ > date -d @0
Do 1. Jan 01:00:00 CET 1970
~/ > date -d @0 -u
Do 1. Jan 00:00:00 UTC 1970

What do you see with the C locale? I get this:

~/ > LC_ALL=C date -d @0
Thu Jan  1 01:00:00 CET 1970
~/ > LC_ALL=C date -d @0 -u
Thu Jan  1 00:00:00 UTC 1970
