A more obvious example is in the event your system time gets *ahead* of real-time.
And even if the system is behind time, it can cause problems. cronjobs running unexpectedly close to each other (or missed cronjobs in extreme cases). User sessions expiring early, etc.
And even if there is only one second, and that is known well ahead (e.g. leap seconds): Unless you know that there isn't going to be a problem, a great deal of care needs to go into handling that.
