Pardon my stupidity. ntpdate -q meets my need fine. So does downloading the 
time from any server that posts a continually updated value of "now". See:
https://superuser.com/questions/635020/how-to-know-current-time-from-internet-from-command-line-in-linux

So I have my work-around. It's still true, as far as I can see, that
this bug is still unfixed in Trusty, but "ntpdate -q" is quite
sufficient to put suspenders on my ntpd time traveler's navigation belt.
