this causes issues on xen VMs...
those issues cause the technique to never be stable (if the interval is 240 min, it will go to error every 240 min)

there are many workarounds,
easiest thing would be to define a interval of 0 to not set the clock
more helpful things would be i.e. to disable that bit for xen pv + linux.

No distro has ever simply fixed the issue within hwclock since it doesn't affect dev laptops :)
