You can try setting the RTC to catchup with lost ticks, instead of
discarding them, by changing the XML to have:

   <clock offset="localtime">
     <timer name="rtc" tickpolicy="catchup">
   </clock>

Can you provide (much) more details:

Fedora version qemu/kernel versions, even windows guest service pack 
existence. What's the qemu cmdline looks like, have you used NTP? What's 
the exact issue with time that you suffering of?
