Eventually you were right, it looks, that the problem is related to the
virtualization, thanks for the tip.

Although I wouldn't say, it's because of messy VMs. It definitely must
be a software bug or misconfiguration, otherwise a VM should always
looks the same as a bare metal machine.

Actually in my specific case I don't see the reason, why it is working
with   <clock offset='utc'/> and not with <clock offset='localtime'/> if
the time in the VM synchronized after bootup.
It looks a software bug to me. But using UTC on (only) one machine is
definitely a misconfiguration:)
