Description
In LAP, since there is no NTP, time (available as date) moves forward via the fake-hwclock software on the RPi.
This program may be run by the system administrator directly but is typically run by init (to load the time on startup and save it on shutdown) and cron (to save the time hourly).
If a user pulls the power before an hour, and without > shutdown, the final time is never recorded, so it will revert back to its init time (time on the original image).

Research direction
Start by reviewing the fake-hwclock behavior described in the issue, including how init and cron load and save the clock on the Raspberry Pi. Done means the clock does not revert to the original image time after power is removed before the next hourly save.
