Yes, doing some spot checking I concur that all the "affected" dates
listed are DST changeover dates.  On those dates, there in fact is no
2-3 AM, meaning that 0200-0259 in fact do NOT exist.  I have verified
that the date in question works fine outside of that 1 hour window:

touch -t 201403090300 test

(works fine)

I concur: Not a bug.

  Ubuntu 12.04 touch -t does not work for March 9 2014

Status in coreutils package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

  I am using touch -t to generate files to test backup file rotation.  'touch' does not believe March 9, 2014 is a valid date.

  Working:

  touch -t "201303090220" somefile
  touch -t "201403100220" somefile

  Not working:

  touch -t "201403090220" broke
  touch: invalid date format `201403090220'
