Just for the record, my hardware clock is set to UTC. I have filed a bug
report against libc6 for this problem as it's been discussed here.

This explains why it might behave oddly once, but my cron stayed off by an
hour for a few days. I imagine this is because cron was started when my
timezone was MST7MDT, and was still behaving accordingly (that is, according
to the broken MST7MDT timezone rules). When I changed the timezone to
Canada/Mountain, therefore, cron would not have noticed, at least until it's
restarted.
