However, when the NTP service is shut down then it stops disciplining
the system time anyway and thus calls the Windows API which sets the
time with the current time as new time. This should force Windows to
update the time in the RTC chip.

I understood that it was when Windows shut down that NTP set the RTC
chip, not when the service was shut down. I've not looked at the code
(I wouldn't know where to start) to confirm this one way or the other,
though.
Indeed this seems to have changed in 4.2.6 and current ntp-dev. The
Windows port of ntpd now only sets the system time if it was
synchronized before, and if it is shutdown because the whole system is
shutdown.
The code is still in current current ntp-dev, in nt_clockstuff.c around
line 850.
