Got this email ~4pm today:
Ken,
This was fixed earlier today.
Negative signs in time zone corrections of the form UT-xx were ignored after
a recent Horizons update enabling UT/TT vector table production.
Over Oct 16-18, they instead returned as UT+xx, as indicated in the output
header.
Output for other zone correction forms 'UT*-' and 'UT+*', 'UTC*+*', and
'UTC*-*' were unaffected.
Thanks for pointing it out! Apologies the error.

When you do a search at Horizons for osculating elements, they always use UT exclusively. So no time correction will be excepted. Giorgini also sent a note to my warning at MLMP group.
