Naturally.

On Linux (and I expect other Unixen) the ntpd daemon slows down or speeds up the system clock for a while depending on the error when it got the time from the server, this means that time never goes backwards jumps, unless the clock is many hours out of sync.

I imagine something similar must exist on windows.

Eventhough it is clearly possible to keep accurate time and avoid jitter it would be good if sapdb could fail with a little more verbose message or maybe log a warning in stead?

It seems heavyhanded to blow up just because the clock is defective.
