Following up, another important use case (which turned out to be what
caused problems for us in the first case)...  At least with some hardware
implementations, upon disconnecting and reconnecting the battery, the
hardware clock is initialized to a random date/time, which can easily be
years in the future.  Again, once in this state, the fake-hwclock can never
be set back properly under normal usage, and thus overrides the real
hwclock on every future boot.
