Briefcase is not respecting the daylight savings time offset when exporting (date-) time fields.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Fill up a form that will include "07:00:00.000Z" in some time field.
2. Export the data from the Briefcase using a computer that is (for example) in 
EET time zone (+2) and the current date is such that it also has one hour 
offset for daylight saving.   

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The expected output is "10:00 AM" but the actual output is "09:00". 

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Any Briefcase under JRE 6. 

Please provide any additional information below.
The problem is lying under the getDate() function inside DateUtils.java 
(JavaRosa):

    public static Date getDate (DateFields f, String timezone) {
        Calendar cd = Calendar.getInstance();
        if(timezone != null) {
            cd.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone(timezone));
        }
        cd.set(Calendar.YEAR, f.year);
        cd.set(Calendar.MONTH, f.month - MONTH_OFFSET);
        cd.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, f.day);
        cd.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, f.hour);
        cd.set(Calendar.MINUTE, f.minute);
        cd.set(Calendar.SECOND, f.second);
        cd.set(Calendar.MILLISECOND, f.secTicks);

        return cd.getTime();
    }

According to the following JDK bug, the "set()" method is clearing the DST 
information. The workaround is to use "add()" instead:
