Think I found a related issue, reproduce it with:

<?php
$dt = new DateTime('now', new DateTimeZone('Europe/Berlin'));

//  try to set timestamp of 2010-10-31T02:00:00+0200
$dt->setTimestamp(1288483200);

// but returns timestamp of 2010-10-31T02:00:00+0100
echo $dt->getTimestamp(); // outputs 1288486800
?>

WinXP 32, PHP 5.3.2 (cli) (built: Mar  3 2010 20:36:54)

DateTime::diff() is similarly afflicted with daylight/standard change
over issues.  Naturally, diff/add/sub all need to be in sync so
intervals returned by diff can be passed to add/sub and produce the
original datetime.

I just attached a test script that covers issues in the spring and fall.

Correction for the Expected result above.

Expected Result
---------------
2011-03-13T03:00:00-05:00 America/Chicago
2011-03-13T01:58:00-06:00 America/Chicago

Same issue here on PHP 5.3.2

<?php

$date = new DateTime('2011-03-13T03:00:00',
timezone_open('America/Chicago'));
print($date->format('c e'));

$date->modify('-2 minutes');
print($date->format('c e'));

?>


Actual Result
-------------
2011-03-13T03:00:00-05:00 America/Chicago
2011-03-13T03:58:00-05:00 America/Chicago

Expected Result
---------------
2011-03-13T03:00:00-05:00 America/Chicago
2011-03-13T01:58:00-05:00 America/Chicago


Comparison: Ruby time library
-----------------------------
irb(main):015:0> date = Time.parse('2011-03-13T03:00:00 in CST')
=> Sun Mar 13 03:00:00 -0500 2011
irb(main):016:0> date - 120
=> Sun Mar 13 01:58:00 -0600 2011
