Hi Pedro,
it is more like "while still running the guest programs the rtc timers" then 
later on when the guest is paused no guest code runs, but this bit seems to be 
something the host can't pause continue. I'm not deep enough into (virt)timer 
programming to explain deeper, but that is how it overall looks to me.

If you follow the threads and bug I linked the discussions there are
about e.g. changing devices to cause less of that and/or to consider IRQ
storming it when it wakes up (but that seemed to be against some
specification).

If the guest goes to a proper pause state he is aware of likes S3/S4 it
will most likely disable these timers. So it might also depend how
exactly you pause things (guest aware or not for example).
