I am able to reproduce this now and also analyse it. Its a timing
issue and original testcase needs to be changed.
The root cause is that we have systemd-timesyncd started automatically on boot
( we always had) so when we changed the date and asked for the date
immediately we got it before timesyncd came around
and readjusted it to network time.

happens with

SSH="ssh root at 192.168.7.2"
$SSH 'date +"%Y-%m-%d %T"'
$SSH 'date -s "2016-08-09 10:00:00"'
$SSH 'date -R'

Fixed with

SSH="ssh root at 192.168.7.2"
$SSH 'systemctl stop systemd-timesyncd'
$SSH 'date +"%Y-%m-%d %T"'
$SSH 'date -s "2016-08-09 10:00:00"'
$SSH 'date -R'
$SSH 'systemctl start systemd-timesyncd'


this patch fixed it during autoruns, but date test is common for
sysvint and systemd it ignores the outputs of systemctl cmds
so in theory it will work on both sysvinit and systemd. Although its not elegant
