The system-config-date package for FC5 contains a fix, as soon as it is released I plan to backport that version.
I've backported 1.8.2 for FC4, it should hit updates-testing shortly. Please verify that your issue is fixed with this update and report back. Thanks!
Just confirming that in the current releases F7 and F8: the selection of UTC as the time zone is possible.
