Having chatted to ogra, we think that broken_system_clock and that config snippet are both working fine.

The problem is that this results in a "fix" to the root filesystem, and that in turn results in the requirement that we reboot (the mounted root fs has changed!)

And rebooting clears the hardware clock again, so we do it all over again in a loop.

There isn't a fix for this :-(
