This is something that Akamai requires for their MSL4 product when
ingesting HLS and using it to generate clips on their CDN. It's also
something required by one of our customers, but we don't know the exact
reason of why they require this. I'll update the patch with a better
commit message explaining these things.
Having a setting for choosing to use UTC and then by default presenting
it in the Z format is a good idea! Always using UTC should not be on by
default though, even if I think that's the best way to present
timestamps, there could be users who depend on it being non-UTC.
So to recap
1) By default USE Zulu time on +0000 UTC timestamps in PDT, but can be
configured OFF.
2) Add an option for using UTC timezone in PDT, by default OFF.
If the incompatibility you experience can be fixed by using option 2, then
I'd rather not add a flag for option 1... I don't have a strong preference
though.

Just realising that this also bleeds into the CMAF muxer in DASH, will
investigate what can be done to support similar settings there.
Thanks for the feedback,

One more idea is that maybe we should introduce a flag which always puts
the timestamp in UTC instead? Otherwise your approach only works if the
local time is UTC, no?
