It was caused by a mistake when setting the clock on a freshly installed system. Somehow my error propagated into /etc/adjtime, causing an enormous clock adjust at boot time. Look at the first number in /etc/adjtime on the first line: it should be in the range -10.0...10.0 to be reasonable (I have 1.3). It is safe to throw this file away (see man hwclock, man adjtimex).
