Your system's real-time clock is returning garbage. r312702 added some
input validation a few weeks ago. Previously, the kernel was reading
beyond the end of an array and either complaining about the clock or
setting it to the wrong time based on whatever was in the memory beyond
the array.
The added validation shouldn't be an assertion because it operates on
data beyond the kernel's control. Try this:
--- sys/libkern.h (revision 314424)
+++ sys/libkern.h (working copy)

return (bcd2bin_data[bcd]);
