Hi Thomas,
I have verified and I confirm this is not a bug, this change was done in
tzdata upstream intentionally. If you think this change cause a
regression, the first step would be to report it to tzdata upstream.

Title:
tzdata info for WGT/WGST broken
Status in tzdata package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
Using "America/Godthab" timezone, "WGT/WGST" is no longer displayed
from date command but instead just "-03". Problem is evident in PHP
applications too, which now think we're in Sao Paolo.
This appears to have changed with latest tzdata update or perhaps in
combination with change from DST.
Same problem on 16.04, 17.10 and Debian 9.
