Comments and MovableType 3.2

There seems to be a bug that stops users from commenting in the new version of MovableType blog (the one I am using currently). If a user comments and tries to send another comment the system reports an error saying:

In an effort to curb malicious comment posting by abusive users, I’ve enabled a feature that requires a weblog commenter to wait a short amount of time before being able to post again. Please try to post your comment again in a short while. Thanks for your patience.

The bug happens due to a TimeZone issue and has been reported to SixApart for a fix. Setting the ThrottleSeconds to 0 in mt.cfg does not seem to help either because the timezone conversion is incorrect and because of that the user needs to wait 2 hours before he/she can comment rather than 30 seconds.
