Thanks so much for sending this. One detail I'm curious about is that these kernels from the Bug messages seem to be v3.6-rc1 or earlier.

Ingo had a fix 1d17d17484d40f2d5b35c79518597a2b25296996 ("time: Fix adjustment cleanup bug in timekeeping_adjust") that landed in 3.6-rc2

Has this issue actually been seen on a 3.6-rc2+ kernel?

thanks
