Hi,
I just installed cygwin 1.5.24-2 on windows 2003. To test some
timezone issue, I set system time to Nov 2, 2007. Then if I set
TZ to PST8PDT, date command reports one hour behind the correct time.
but if I unset TZ, date works well. And it looks like date can
work with PST8PDT correctly in 2006 instead of 2007.

Try setting the date to 11/21 and try again. IIRC, DST extends an extra
3 weeks this year in the US. Don't know why it would "work" without TZ
set though. Sounds like a Windows problem. Is your system up-to-date
with patches.
