After the machine's been running for a few minutes, and before I start X,
"date ; rdate time.nist.gov" shows at most a second's difference. 30 mins
after X has been running, the same command sequence shows about 90 seconds
difference, with my laptop running behind time. It's gotten to the point
where I have to crontab "rdate -s" every 1/2 hr or so.

No. "hwclock" shows a clock with a minor difference to the NIST clock.

Tried that, too- no difference, but I'll try it again.
