so you are finding two separate problems:

 1. if NVRAM clock were synced after reboot, the step on 15 Oct would
    be close to zero, not 300.

 2. accepting that bug exists, and the NVRAM time is never updated to
    system time, the step should be the same size on the 14th and
    15th.  Instead the nvram is gaining/losing two seconds in only 16
    hours which is much worse accuracy than you expect from the
    battery chip.
