Wasn't able to replicate on Debian, but from what I understand the
system clock can get set from RTC in two places

1) if CONFIG_RTC_HCTOSYS is enabled in the kernel, then the RTC will be
read on boot when the RTC driver is initialized; I think it is assumed
the RTC is in UTC, as the kernel cannot know the timezone

2) systemd will later set the clock (using /etc/adjtime to determine if
it is UTC or local time)

I imagine if the systemd one doesn't trigger on resume for some reason,
you would get the symptoms you are experiencing.
