I have been alerted to this website http://icu-project.org/trac/ticket/5470 which describes an issue with the Brazil update in tzdata2006n.

Is this true?

It appears to me to be a problem in the ICU4C's code simpletz.cpp, not

in the tz code or data itself, so you should ask whoever wrote simpletz.cpp to fix it.
