This gets more complicated than it seems. When the DC starts, it inherits the time based on the previous offset from the "hardware". It then needs to correct itself. Because of drift etc, things can get screwy.
I am not even sure what the best method is but I believe last I checked it was best to let the host sync accurately, then use vmtools to sync the guest.
