Good catch.  Come to think of it, this suggests that we should remove
Atlantic/Jan_Mayen, since there's no particular reason to have
duplicate entries Arctic/Longyearbyen and Arctic/Jan_Mayen: those
entries would have the same time zone history, country code, and
continent.  (By "remove" I really mean "move to the 'backward' file"...)

Argentina; ... 

 * Move Atlantic/Jan_Mayen to the 'backward' file
   (thanks to Jonas Melian for this).
