Myth 0.26 Wakes up late

First post so be gentle:-) .
While testing [v0.26-beta-9-g8c551e6] on Ubunu 12.04, I note that the
machine wakes up later than it should to record. I suspect that the
recent changes to UTC have not made it into mythshutdown. Mythbackend
log shows the following.

The programme was due to start at 11:25 and I have set the backend to
wakeup 10 mins prior to program start. Wake up time was correctly set to
11:15 but the backend actually started at 12:16. This mechanism works
fine with myth 0.25.
Note that this anomaly only affects startup, programs are scheduled at
the correct time when the backend is already up.

Time zones are set correctly. I am located in the UK.

By the way, I could not get the method stated in the wiki, for importing
time zone data, to work. Had to use :-

The time difference is one hour (plus one minute for the reboot), so I
would guess it has something to do with daylight savings time settings.

Yes, I am sure it is due to daylight saving time being 1 hour in front
of GMT but the whole point of myth moving to UTC was to sort that out.

Looks like something may have been missed. Please put in a Trac ticket so
this can be fixed. Thanks

http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/MySQL_Time_Zone_Tables has been updated to
tell users without a password for their mysql root user not to use the
-p<yourpassword> switch.

Better described as, "Moving MythTV to store UTC internally changes one
set of problems (that only occurs during 2 hours per year) to another
set (which affects us all year long)--but appeases the users who insist
that 'any sane program uses UTC'".

Further info:-
This problem only effects waking the computer to record a program.
Programs record at the correct time when the backend is running.
The problem can be mitigated by using the daily start and end times in
Mythwelcome, these work correctly, guaranteeing that the computer powers
up in the required time range.
I have no other issues with version 0.26, works fine, seems a bit more
responsive than 0.25.
