I am not a guru, but AOpen AK73PRO which uses VIA KT133 does not show any of these symptoms that you describe (I cannot be sure about #3 since I run ntp). You may want to make your hardware description a bit more specific to help gurus to help you...

I experience #2 and #3 on the following board w/ VIA KT133:
BIOS Vendor: American Megatrends Inc.
BIOS Version: 62710
BIOS Release: 07/15/97
Board Vendor: Gigabyte Technology Co. Ltd..
Board Name: 7ZX.
Board Version: 1.0.
ntpdate is run at boot..
2:14am up 14:59, 3 users, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00
And i just ran it again after running uptime, it showed the following:
29 Jan 02:15:20 ntpdate[3879]: step time server 164.67.62.194 offset 11.398730 sec
This is 2.4.1per11 btw.

my ga-7zm shows none of them either (I also run ntp, and the board has a perfectly normal drift history.)
