FWIW, this also apparently makes it impossible to set an alarm for today
if the current time is between midnight and the number of hours past UTC
your time zone is.

So, I'm in UTC-6.  It's 2am.  I can't set an alarm to go off in 15
minutes (or any time before 6am), because it automatically sets the
alarm for *tomorrow*.  Even if I tell it to repeat every day of the
week.

Bug description:
  Setting an alarm in the local timezone is not respected by the system
  since the alarms is triggered in the equivalent UTC timezone.

  Mako build 200, 205

  Steps to reproduce: 
  1. Ensure that phone timezone is something other than UTC. For instance eastern tz (UTC-5)
  2. Set an alarm for 3:00 PM in the ubuntu clock app.
  3. Indicator shows a pending alarm for 3:00 PM
  4. Check a minute or so later, indicator shows an alarm pending for 8:00 PM

  What happens:
  The alarm does not go off at 3:00 PM. Instead it triggers at 8:00 PM

  What should happen:
  The alarm is triggered at 3:00 PM
