NTFS adjusts winter file times while in daylight savings
The only file times we should ever be interested in are surely epoch
times, which should be unaffected by time zones.

epoch, or at least non-timezone adjusted times, is the way every modern
FS stores file times, no one said otherwise. There is a big difference
between time storage and display ... I was talking about display.
Postgres deals with both so at some point, a file time (or any time)
will get displayed. There are different ways of handling daylight
display, I have yet to find a technically correct way of doing it.
The more I think about it, I personally like the display behavior of
NTFS file times over something like EXT3. When I am in EDT, it is
useful to have all display times in that zone (regardless of whether
that time falls within winter or summer) ... just as they would if I
switched to PST.
