Mandriva is known to do all sorts of patched without checking for side

It would probably be a combination of both: KDE "must" have it's
timezones stored somewhere within KDE's tree, and Mandriva has probably
heavyly adjusted it. But it probably follows KDE's rules...

The problem is that KDE is running with your user's privileges, which should
not allow it to copy anything into /etc unless you provide a root password.

What should I look for?

I am not sure. Does RPM allow to query which package a file belongs to?
In this case you could check which package provides
the /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Sao_Paulo file you found out gets copied.
