If you want us to redefine Daylight Savings time, then you should specify in
great detail exactly how this should be done.
I don’t see any duplicates, anyway, since the DST zones are incuded:

[1] "2015-10-31 23:00:00 PDT" "2015-11-01 00:00:00 PDT" "2015-11-01 01:00:00
PDT"
[4] "2015-11-01 01:00:00 PST" "2015-11-01 02:00:00 PST" "2015-11-01 03:00:00
PST"
[7] "2015-11-01 04:00:00 PST”
But if you use GMT you do get a sequence with no “duplicates:

> tz="GMT"), by="1 hour")
[1] "2015-10-31 23:00:00 GMT" "2015-11-01 00:00:00 GMT" "2015-11-01 01:00:00
GMT"
[4] "2015-11-01 02:00:00 GMT" "2015-11-01 03:00:00 GMT" "2015-11-01 04:00:00
GMT"
