Looking back through the logs on my HP machine, I see this
message occurring some times after startup, but not every
time; it was not logged following the reboot after the update
to 9.4.29. I also see one non-startup instance where it was
logged (Aug 10 19:23:39).

I believe it was synced until some time last night, then
started to lose again; this could correlate with when the
following was logged:
Aug 20 23:22:38 anhedonia ntpd[3254]: synchronisation lost
(I first noticed a clock problem shortly after this).
This came after rebooting with the new kernel (2.6.9-42.EL)
around 2PM yesterday (but still with the older kernel-utils).
