This sounds so much like a dead PRAM battery that I would consider looking there again: test the battery separately, and check the contacts to make sure it's seated properly. If everything else seems fine, the chances of it being in the Mac OS ROM are very slim (corruption there would likely affect more than just the clock, and only the clock), but you addressed that anyway, which is good, thorough troubleshooting. The symptoms point to the battery, although that should affect ALL settings associated with your PRAM. Just for fun, you could try installing Superclock, still available at many classic mac sites, to see if IT works properly. If it does, than your hardware is fine, and all the calls work, and it then has to be a software bug or conflict.
