ChromeOS sets wring timezone automatically

Reported by ponymarz...@gmail.com, Oct 7 2016

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; CrOS armv7l 8743.57.0) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/54.0.2840.51 Safari/537.36
Platform: 8743.57.0 (Official Build) beta-channel veyron_speedy

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Set correct timezone
2. After some time it changes to wrong timezone

What is the expected behavior?

What went wrong?
My timezone it UTC+3, but ChromeOS changes it automatically to UTC+2. Checkbox "Set time zone automatically using your location" is unchecked. But ChromeOS ignores that and changes timezone according to my IP.

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version: 54.0.2840.51  Channel: beta
OS Version: 8743.57.0
Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 23.0 r0

It looks like that ChromeOS automatically sets timezone according IP address. It sets wrong timezone every time I use VPN.
Maybe this is a duplicate of:
Automatic time zone detection is forced when no user is logged on
https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=622555

Please try to note when exactly the erroneous change happens.

As far as I read issue descriptions, this issue seems differnt from  crbug.com/622555 . 

 crbug.com/653975  (This bug) = IP geolocation info overwrites manual timezone setting, within user sessions
 crbug.com/622555  = Manual timezone setting goes away once user signs out of user session

We have a similar report from enterprise user, and are currently waiting on details including ChromeOS debug log.
