mmh.. I can't say anything on this topic... I've never tried nand since om2008 :P
maybe it's a bug specific for nand users with a uSD partition?

I think this does not exclude my hypothesis because if time delta between mount and the previous umount is greater than X days, extfs forces a filesystem check.

please try this:
log-in via usb-ssh on your moko
/etc/init.d/qpe stop (or through the gui "shutdown qt extended")
killall atd
hwclock -r (check if the result is ok)
date (verify it's the same value)
