ntpd will write utmp logs and syslog entries whenever the time is stepped,
and this should help mightily with the audit logs.

I can see the need for the logging daemon to note time steps in all logging
streams; that requirement is probably beyond the scope of ntpd.  Having said
that, when the ntp.conf file is rewritten it will probably be possible to
have ntpd support multiple logging streams.

The biggest reason time cannot be stepped backwards is usually database
daemons.  I suspect it would be useful to discuss this situation separately.
