ZonedTime read instance failing to parse what show returns

Test case:

import Data.Time

main = do
  time <- getZonedTime
  let string = show time
  print string
  print $ (read string :: ZonedTime)

This gives me:

*Main> main
"2013-02-24 14:51:56.453125 Central European Standard Time"
*** Exception: Prelude.read: no parse

Reportedly this works with (some) other timezones, so be sure to also test it with mine (show time => "2013-02-24 14:51:56.453125 Central European Standard Time").
