Thank you for your prompt response!

I used VirtualBox, not VMWare, when trying to reproduce the issue, maybe
that's the reason why I failed. It looks like VMWare has it's own
specifics related to timekeeping: [1].

Maybe you could try tools.syncTime = "0" by any chance?

There is also an interesting note in VMware Tools 11 docs [2]:
If the clock on the guest operating system is ahead of the clock on the
host, VMware Tools causes the clock on the guest to run more slowly until
the clocks are synchronized.

But still it's hard to say without experimentation whether this can cause
the observed effect.
