I cannot reproduce your problem.  On my system I see the following:

  /usr/share/zoneinfo/America$ du -a . | grep New_York
  4       ./New_York

  /usr/share/zoneinfo$ du -a . | grep New_York
  4       ./America/New_York
  4       ./right/America/New_York
  4       ./posix/America/New_York

What version of coreutils are you using?  On what system?

  $ du --version

  $ uname -a

Many people refuse to respond to messages with those types of
disclaimers.  The disclaimer itself actually says that they should
not!  In the future consider using a different email account such as
any of the many free email accounts available on the Internet that
does not include such disclaimers.
