I use it on all my machines, which includes 3 Pentium boxes, a sparc64 box, a hppa box and an arm system. I have never seen this on any of them. The amd64 system I use it on is my desktop, so it's booted daily and when I'm doing kernel bisects, multiple times per day. I've never seen anything like it (and as I have a CPU monitor on my desktop, I would have). I suspect that the problem may be hardware related. Maybe some interaction with the RTC, which would also explain why it only manifests on startup as that is when chrony reads the RTC. Another option could be that it's somehow related to timekeeping in the kernel (but probably still influenced by the exact hardware). Those are only fairly uneducated guesses though.
