The OpenBSD people *are* smarter about this. From the OpenBSD man page for
cron(8):
  Special considerations exist when the clock is changed by less than 3
  hours; for example, at the beginning and end of Daylight Saving Time.  If
  the time has moved forward, those jobs which would have run in the time
  that was skipped will be run soon after the change.  Conversely, if the
  time has moved backward by less than 3 hours, those jobs that fall into
  the repeated time will not be run.
