Bug Description
The time can be changed with the date/time applet and it stays changed after reboot until the GUI is nearly finished loading up. then something on the system kicks in which switches the time back to its old setting and the screensaver is triggered. This didn't occur with older versions of moblin-applets like 0.44.

ok, this isn't a bug. Apparantly ntpdate is being called successfully when the device is connected to the network (or booted with connection) and the time is being reset to the network time. If the network connection is disabled and the system rebooted or shutdown, it pops back up with the manual settings. What's probably needed is a manual/automatic time toggle on the date/time dialog (similar to what was there before but trimmed way down).
I'm putting this in as a wishlist item.
