[uml-user] John Stultz' leap second check program lets an UML clock jump by few hours

I tested the script of John Stultz (https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/7/1/203)
at a UML of an unstable Gentoo Linux with recent host
kernel linux-v3.5-rc5-98-g9e85a6f
(without his proposed patches) and observed the following time jump of
roughly 2 1/2 hours :

# /mnt/n22/home/tfoerste/a
1341446400:46860754
1341446400:46867754
...
1341446400:47172756
--------------------
1341446400:47179756
1341446399:47227757
--------------------
1341446399:283327230
...
1341446399:283555228
1341446399:283574228
1341446399:283593228
Delta: 999951999 ns

Here're the syslog lines :

Jul  4 22:22:18 n22_uml courierd: SHUTDOWN: Stopping...
Jul  5 01:59:59 n22_uml kernel: Clock: inserting leap second 23:59:60 UTC

Now I'm wondering whether it is worth to care about it or not.

I don't know what John's programing is exactly doing.
What is the expected result?

I wouldn't expeczt more than 1 seconds time shift from the program

Erm - host shows same behaviour ... so it is not an UML issue
