Unlikely. On my systems, the offset values are off by three orders of magnitude, and are always negative. There's a more basic error somewhere before that test.
The actual impact of lost jiffies is pretty low, though. I've beaten vigorously on my systems with the time patch, and they don't lose timer interrupts.
