Just to clarify, we don't abort the transaction if time goes negative, but we do if the clock is set forward by more than 60 seconds. If time goes negative, the stored value for the time is replaced with the new time value and the client waits some more. In order for the change in time to trigger an abort, the time has to advance by 60 seconds and no data can be recieved (or sent) by any of the handles in that time period.
