yes, this is the issue. What you suggest should be fine and I am trying
it now.
With the locking version (and a fix to a bug I introduced) I got .0012%
error
on an overnight run with hpet layered on get_s_time_mono(), which is the
max(prev, cur) layer on get_s_time we discussed.

12 parts per million is pretty good. Is that cumulative deviation from 'wall
time' over ~12 hours?

yes, deviation between the guest's time and an ntp reference.

That could easily be explained by the fact that Xen
system time is not sync'ed with ntp.
That's true. And, as we have discussed, this error seems to vary quite a bit
platform to platform for some reason. I will verify that this still is the case.
