Thanks for suggestions, everyone. This does seem to be what's happening (despite the fact that the VM is running ntpd). Even quite a while after un-sleeping the computer, the VM continues to have an incorrect date, so ntpd doesn't seem to be doing a very good job here. An attempt to install VMware Tools for Linux turned out to be a headache (the VM doesn't have a number of things it wants, such as kernel header files). I abandoned that idea. I'll just shut down the VM before sleeping the machine, or maybe try to suspend the VM before sleep and see if that works just as well.
