It's says LOCAL, and the hwclock is most certainly resynced. Besides, at
eash reboot hwclock-save.service should assure that the bios clock gets
synced. But, at the next boot, it's broken again.

I upgraded from F14. There were no issues before the upgrade.
I thought that it was odd that after I upgraded to F15, applied the updates,
and rebooted a few times, the clock was off by twelve hours. I just shrugged
it off as a gremlin, and resynced from my ntp server.
But when I noticed that the clock immediately jumped to being four hours
later after a reboot, the alarm bell went off.
Unfortunately, now that we have this systemd infrastructure, it's not as
easy as sticking a bunch of "date"s in the various rc scripts, to see what's
happening to the clock when the system boots, and where it runs askew.
A brief Google search shows that I'm not the only one:

… and, we're in Bugzilla. Looks like a bug to me.
