Looks like something else is calling "hwclock --systz" one more time... initscripts-legacy ships /lib/udev/rules.d/88-clock.rules which may be it. Does the bug go away if you uninstall initscripts-legacy?
Does your /etc/adjtime contain "UTC" or "LOCAL" in third line?

This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database. Reassigning to the new owner of this component.
Is this still a problem or can this bug be closed?
hwclock-load.service is no more in systemd since v28: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2011-May/002526.html So this no more a problem for Fedora 16, but it may still occur in F15.
