I can verify this behavior. I am running on onboard flash with distro
debian-sarge-udev-512MB-jan182008.tar.gz 
Updated tsuart1.ko module and using latest rtc7800.

I can't predict when it happens, it apears to be random. But reseting
system clock from hwclock with rtc7800 corrects time again (given that
the hwclock is correct). So it probably is not a problem with the rtc.
