this looks like a bug. shall I report it?
Yes please. With more details if possible:) We started using qemu-ga for these and it’s
possible that the report differs in this aspect. Then it needs to be fixed

I live in Vienna.
When I configure Windows VM Hardware Clock Time Offset as "Central
European Standard Time" the problem goes away. I still don't know what
this "W. Europe Standard Time (UTC+01:00)" timezone that Windows uses
and reports and that is choosable in oVirt actually is, this causes the
error IMHO (since "recently"...).
According to Wikipedia there's only "Western European Time" (UTC+00:00)
and Vienna has "Central European Time" (UTC+01:00).
Timezones and DST are a PITA.
