The leap bits are set when the timing source, either modem, radio or server, set them. However, they are provided to the kernel only on the day of the leap.
A clarification: are you talking about the protocol (NTP) or the implementation (ntpd), or both? I guess it is sensible for an implementation of NTP to "process" the leap bits only on those two days of the year leap seconds can occur, but the RFCs are a bit vague on that. They just talk about setting the bits on the day of insertion. But don't worry, I won't lose my sleep over this :)
