David Hammond's answer is great but doesn't play all the tricks; so here is a modified version:

• allows for fractional part in date/time string
• allows for optional seconds in date/time string
• considers crossing over daylight-saving time

appendTimezone = function (/*String*/ d) {
    // check for ISO 8601 date-time string (seconds and fractional part are optional)
    if (d.search(/^\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}T\d{2}:\d{2}(?::\d{2}(?:\.\d{1-3})?)?$/) == 0) {
        var pad = function (num) {
            norm = Math.abs(Math.floor(num));
            return (norm < 10 ? '0' : '') + norm;
        },
        tzo = -new Date(d).getTimezoneOffset(),
        sign = tzo >= 0 ? '+' : '-';

        var adjusted = d + sign + pad(tzo / 60) + ':' + pad(tzo % 60);

        // check whether timezone offsets are equal;
        // if not then the specified date is just within the hour when the clock
        // has been turned forward or back
        if (-new Date(adjusted).getTimezoneOffset() != tzo) {
            // re-adjust
            tzo -= 60;
            adjusted = d + sign + pad(tzo / 60) + ':' + pad(tzo % 60);
        }

        return adjusted;
    } else {
        return d;
    }
}

parseDate = function (/*String*/ d) {
    return new Date(appendTimezone(d));
}
