I noticed there is a lot of inconsistency in this regard, which doesn't seem to have been intentional.
Thanks for mentioning this. The old entries used "23:00s" and not "24:00" because the entries were intended to be portable to pre-1998 versions of zic, which did not support "24:00". By now it's safe to assume that these old zic versions are dead, as a "24:00" sneaked into the data some years ago (github commit 883cdaef9203b09be4ef48210dfb3991b114093c dated 2009-05-17 14:50:24 -0400), and nobody has complained in over five years. So I pushed your change into the experimental version of tz on github.
