I can't make sense of the output of your test:

Why did the test program print the above lines? It's supposed to
sleep until 3 seconds prior to the midnight:

        /* Wake up 3 seconds before leap */
        ts.tv_sec = next_leap - 3;
        ts.tv_nsec = 0;
        while(clock_nanosleep(CLOCK_REALTIME, TIMER_ABSTIME, &ts, NULL))
                printf("Something woke us up, returning to sleep\n");

2) The only place where the test program sets STA_PLL is in 
clear_time_state(); It clears it right after that.

clear_time_state() is not called inside the while "(now < next_leap+2)" loop,
except in the SIGINT/SIGKILL handler. Did you send signals to the program
at this point?

If not, I can't understand how the status went from STA_PLL to !STA_PLL
and thus why time_state went to TIME_OK
