The only thing I can suggest is that you switch to a working NTP implementation because normally hwclock would not be involved at all in updating the RTC after NTP sync. hwclock (util-linux) can not force itself to be run. This is simply out of the hands of util-linux. An init script to run hwclock is already shipped. Are you actually running it?

Sounds bad but you leave me with nothing to go on so impossible to do anything about.... moreinfo, unreproducible. As of right now I'm ready to reassign this back to openntpd (and have them close it if they still wish to do so). Please feel free to suggest an alternative approach to deal with this issue.
