This can happen when a user has has bad timezone data in the DB, typically the case for very old users from times (no pun intended) where we did not properly validate changes to the user's preferred timezone.
(It would of course be nicer to automatically discard such garbage data, but making any changes in that util feels extremely wrong. I will just fix invalid timezones in out DB manually.)
Also memoize session timezone utils, since they get called A LOT when generating the timezone picker...
