To me this sounds like WAI but Adding a few more people to chime in
Status: WontFix (was: Untriaged)
I think this is likely a bug (I guess the behavior should be that the user can still decide to turn on "autodetect timezone", but if they choose "select from a list" they won't get to choose?

Marking as WontFix as it really isn't a useful use case (admins either don't want to restrict timezones, or they want to restrict them - this weird intermediate state where the user can have *some* choice but not full choice isn't something people want in reality).
