Hal, I suppose your opinion is correct. A friend has found  the same problem 
with an HPZ3016A GPSDO. The solution was to resetting the internal counter 
inside the Motorola GPS module. To do this , the friend has removed the GPS 
module and communicate using his proper serial port to reset the internal 
counter. I have not some more details about the operation, but if request I can 
ask him.

   It's the GPS rollover problem. There is a 10 bit field for the week number
   in the data from the satellites. After you decode the date/time you have to
   compare what you get with a magic date. The magic date is typically the time
   the software is compiled or a constant in the code that is whenever the
   programmer last updated it. If the GPS date is earlier, add 1024 weeks.
   Repeat if necessary.

   The simple solution is to fix the software driving the display, It's 2 or 3
   lines of code in the right place. If you can't do that, you might be able to
   insert something between the TBolt and the display that will fixup that slot.
