Description
After discussing https://github.com/timberio/vector/issues/1544, it appears that a negative offset time zone was the issue parsing this line. We should discuss how we can properly test for this.

Research direction
Start by reading issue 1544 and the referenced code at src/sources/journald.rs line 209 to understand how negative-offset time zones expose the parsing problem. Add coverage that runs the relevant tests across different time zones, including a negative offset, and verify the parsing behavior is consistent.
