It is impossible to fix this correctly in iOS < 5. The fix will only  
be accurate in later versions. Earlier versions do not use any  
consistency in the time the birthday is represented as. When the  
birthday is entered/changed on the device it uses the current time of  
day. No idea what time it expects it as when the birthday is  
transmitted to the device. My guess is it ignores the time entirely  
and does not perform any UTC -> timezone translation.
