I see no bug here.  America/Mexico_City is reported as being -06
all year round, which agrees with what the tzdb commentary says:

# From Paul Eggert (2022-10-28):
# The new Mexican law was published today:

# This abolishes DST except where US DST rules are observed,
# and in addition changes all of Chihuahua to -06 with no DST.

Meanwhile, Bogota has been -05 year-round since the nineties.

If you disagree with either of these conclusions, you had better
provide some solid evidence to back it up; and the place to be
complaining to is the tzdata maintainers, not us.

Apparently, your PG 12.10 installation is using some pre-2022f
version of tzdata.  Mexico didn't abolish DST until late last year.
