Not at all, since ... 
a) set_timezone() doesn't have anything to do with the problem you mentioned 
and 
b) ICU comes with a tool (not on haiku yet) that allows updating the 
timezones embedded in libicu-dt. So once we've made that tools available, 
you should be able to update timezones on your running system.
