Hmm - we don't seem to support those codes (TZH, TZM) for some reason.

But it seems the developers know about it:

If you know a little bit of "C" then you should be able to submit a
patch for this without too much trouble.
For the moment, you'll have to use extract() to pick out the bit(s) you
need:
to_char(extract(timezone_hour from current_timestamp), 'S00');
