Sounds like a bug in Tor's wallclock or log modules.
Or a problem with your OS time APIs.

What version/commit of Tor were you running before and after the upgrade?
What time did your OS show when this issue happened?

Can you please post all the logs from Tor's shutdown, startup with the wrong
time, and correct time, and then a few more entries?
