However, once the city was selected, the "Date & Time" setting appears to have forgotten the city I chose; it reports Los Angeles, instead. Strike 1.
This is because the system necessarily has to use the IANA tz identifier internally for compatibility purposes (e.g., across container boundaries, or for other system configuration tools). It's just a myth that the IANA tz identifiers are internal data invisible to users. Real systems do not work this way. Changing that will break interoperability. Thanks, Florian
