Indeed, distance_of_time_in_words returns different values depending on 
the current time (and timezone):

$ export TZ=Europe/Warsaw
$ for d in 01-01 03-01 03-02 03-27 04-02 10-30; do faketime "2011-$d UTC" python -c 'import webhelpers.date as d; print d.distance_of_time_in_words(0, 31536000)'; done
1 year
11 months and 28 days
11 months and 30 days
11 months, 30 days and 1 hour
11 months and 29 days
11 months, 29 days and 23 hours
