You may have better results with the latest test release.
See below.

Thanks to both of you for the reports.
Bob, what version of date are you using? And on what type of system?
Using the latest test release
ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/fetish/sh-utils-2.0.11.tar.gz
on a Linux system with libc-2.2.2, I don't see a problem:
$ date +%z
+0200
$ date -u -s 1401 2> /dev/null
Sat Apr 21 14:01:00 UTC 2001
$ date -u -s '1401 UTC' 2> /dev/null
Sat Apr 21 14:01:00 UTC 2001
