Once (two years ago?) I installed Debian on an iBook with a dead battery (and therefore reseting the system's date after each reboot) and I got the same annoying warning during install (as well as some unpleasant side effects that I can't recall).
Since it was a fresh install I decided to boot MacOS, fix the date and reinstall. After that NTP got rid of the problem with the date.

Maybe "touch -c -t 0304050607 file" (time being set as YYMMDDhhmm) recursively would solve your problem.
(you may have to write a script for that, I can't recall if "touch" can be done
recursively)
I haven't tried it, though.

P.S: be sure to have your system's clock updated before trying anything.

Hello,

The last days I'm getting a warning while booting, that the last write
and last mount date/timestamp are in the future. It proceeds to fix
that and check the disk. This happened several times this week, and
ofcourse because the time it takes to check the disk it's very
annoying. Is there any simple to do about this, or do I need to
reinstall Arch or should I fear that my harddisk is dying?

Thanks in advance,
Marco Louter
