So the lower year is *inclusive* and the upper year is *exclusive*, and from my understanding these words should be swapped in the text of the man page. Or am I missing something?

Yes, but the real problem here is that zdump's behavior is confusing so the documentation is confusing. On reflection it's probably better to change zdump -c and -t so that lower bounds are consistently inclusive and upper bounds consistently exclusive. Although this is an incompatible change, I doubt whether anybody will notice or care. Proposed patch attached, and installed in the development repository on GitHub.
