I think I've narrowed down the cause of this: The Linux kernel
(2.6.18.5) is actually misdetecting the CPU frequency; it claims the
processor is running at ~804 MHz when it's really running at ~797 MHz.

I find that ntpd works fine if I switch away from the default "tsc"
clocksource to a clocksource not dependent on the CPU frequency being
detected correctly, e.g. "acpi_pm":

# echo acpi_pm >
/sys/devices/system/clocksource/clocksource0/current_clocksource
