The reason the time gets set back is that
aux/timesync is managing /dev/time. If you change
/dev/time behind its back, it will gladly "fix" it next
time it checks.
Timesync is started in termrc. It looks to me like
it should by default be syncing against /dev/rtc,
but run psu -a |grep timesync and check that it is
really running with the -r flag.
If it is, perhaps there is a bug in timesync that
needs to be found.
