i vote for putting a) in the instalation guide so new users dont get scared by this (imo) non issue. You're right, it's not an real issue. Only a little annoying if you forget to set it correctly. I've last test something with a ~1.9TB

wasnt there noted in the guide that you have to link your timezone somewhere? Yes, in the chapter where to set the values in rc.conf. But at this time it's already to late, TZ (or time) must be set before starting the installer (or at top of installer). We *must* have a constant, correct time during install, especially after fdisk/1.mount and remount during configuring.
tzselect has the advantage that user could do it interactiv. With this (another idea) we could handle this like km: put a hint /etc/motd: ,---- | Timezone: | - to set your time(zone) correctly during installlation, type tzselect | on console. `----
