As was mentioned in another reply, this message by Joerg Friedrich
http://lists.debian.org/debian-sparc/2007/02/msg00045.html
gives a possible explanantion of where the time is going. I applied the patch to the debian kernel sources for 2.6.18, it applied cleanly and fixed the problem.
I have the upatched kernel in /boot so I can run the tests you mentioned fairly easily -- please let me know if you'd still like me to do that.
