I considered that so I did use hwclock to confirm that the hardware clock / system clock were both the same between the two servers, and comparing /etc/adjtime between the two indicates the hwclock should have been local time on both sides (unless this got changed when I downgraded the kernel to resolve the issue).

Unfortunately I don't have a test machine for this at the moment, but can follow up in a couple weeks.
