Thanks Erich, with this info I could pinpoint the problem. Apparently the functionality tested is not available on a disk formatted with macOS Extended (journaled), only on a disk formatted with APFS. This is the only machine with macOS Extended on the system disk so I should have realized earlier.
I tried formatting a USB stick to test all available formatting options for the Mac. Here a summary: APFS -> 2021-02-18T15:57:00.190785 -> Works as intended with sub-second time macOS extended -> 2021-02-18T17:10:44.000000 (same for all partitioning options and for case sensitive/insensitive) -> no sub-second time. FAT32 -> 2021-02-18T17:21:21.000000 -> no sub-second time. EXFAT -> 2021-02-18T17:29:03.170000 -> some sub-second time but not the same as APFS Hälsningar/Regards/Grüsse, P.O.
