I've uploaded a partial fix for this:

     This fixes #33968 for people without /usr on a separate partition.

This will run hwclock as early as possible, which should be before dhclient gets run. However because /etc/localtime is still a symlink to a partition under /usr, if you have that mounted separately, this will *not* fix it for you.
