I'm not entirely sure what MonoDroid can do about device-dependent behavior. 
DateTime.Now is retrieved from gettimeofday(2), and the timezone is detected
from a bit of logic based on mktime(3), localtime(3), strftime(3), etc. (see
mono/metadata/icall.c:ves_icall_System_CurrentSystemTimeZone_GetTimeZoneData
for details).

The fact that it works in some places and fails in others suggests that some
vendors are screwing up libc/bionic with custom changes, and I can't really see
a way to easily work around this.
