If I understand you correctly, the effect of this is to introduce
(or re-introduce, since it actually existed once before) a new
zone, Europe/Tiraspol that has rules/transitions equivalent to
Europe/Chisinau (but presumably a different LMT value - does anyone
know Tiraspol's actual longitude?) except with summer time not
starting this year on Oct 30 which is when most of the rest of
Europe starts, right?

Did you have in mind winter (or standard) time starting at the end of October in the northern hemisphere?  Or summer time (not?) ending?
