Cakephp 3: difficulties with timezones when dates submitted in a form

I've set up a form where a user can input a date + time + timezone.

After submitting the form, in my controller, $this->request->data contains this:

[
    'date' => [
        'year' => '2015',
        'month' => '02',
        'day' => '12',
        'hour' => '22',
        'minute' => '54',
        'timezone' => 'Europe/Paris'
    ]
]

After creating an entity using $table->newEntity($this->request->data), $entity->date contains:

object(Cake\I18n\Time) { 
    'time' => '2015-02-12T22:54:00+0000', 
    'timezone' => 'UTC', 
    'fixedNowTime' => false 
} 


Although I was expecting it to contain:
object(Cake\I18n\Time) { 
    'time' => '2015-02-12T22:54:00+0000', 
    'timezone' => 'Europe/Paris', 
    'fixedNowTime' => false 
} 

OR

object(Cake\I18n\Time) { 
    'time' => '2015-02-12T21:54:00+0000', 
    'timezone' => 'UTC', 
    'fixedNowTime' => false 
} 

Is this the expected behavior? If yes how can I (easily) correctly instantiate the date in my entity by taking into account the timezone submitted by the user?
