We derive a systematic, multiple time-scale perturbation expansion for the work distribution in isothermal quasi-static Langevin processes. To first order we find a Gaussian distribution reproducing the result of Speck and Seifert (2004 Phys. Rey. E 70 066112). Scrutinizing the applicability of perturbation theory we then show that, irrespective of time-scale separation, the expansion breaks down when applied to untypical work values from the tails of the distribution. We thus reconcile the result of Speck and Seifert with apparently conflicting exact expressions for the asymptotics of work distributions in special systems and with an intuitive argument building on the central limit theorem.
