A full set of examples strikes me as too much here
still, and I do like the idea of weaseling out.

Perhaps:

This normalization is done in order from tm_sec up to
tm_year, possibly leading to cascading values.  That
is, a tm_sec value of e.g., 185 with a tm_min value of
58 could lead to an increment of tm_min by three, and
thus further incrementing tm_hour by one, and so on.
Likewise, negative values can lead to decrementing
other tm(3) fields.  As with most things relating to
time, dates, and calendars, the full details of these
side effects are often non‐obvious, and it may be best
to avoid such scenarios.
