It looks as if the system aims to 'counter' the detected setting error over one poll interval. That would make sense for a system whilst left on since each subsequent correction of the rate is to the 'soft' clock which has already been given the earlier corrections. To test this, you/others could experiment with different poll intervals. It looks like your hard clock drifted by about 0.378 sec in about 226 mins. That seems consistent with what I get with my machine's hardware clock which drifts by a second or two per day.
