As I said, I wonder if it's opening the Settings that results in the
problem, as opposed to setting the clock. Since I did change the pitch, I
did not get the clock not set message that others have reported here and I'm
guessing that this was due to the mere action of opening Settings.

I don't believe the clock has anything to do with the problem, either. The
clock wasn't changed at all with the last two betas.

Jeremiah 29:11 - 14A
11For I know the plans I have for you," says the LORD. "They
are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.
12In those days when you pray, I will listen. 13If you look for me in
earnest,
you will find me when you seek me. 14I will be found by you," says the
LORD...
