I had something similar on January 1st around 2am. I thought there was
just some problem with the change of year two hours earlier and I just
reconfigured the time properly without worrying more. As far as I can
remember, it happened indeed after turning off/on the laptop (iBook Dual
USB G3 - the one that is going to have a logic board failure - with kernel
2.4.23-ben1).

I am not sure this helps but well, you asked if this happened to someone
else so...
