Yes. Unfortunately we cannot fix this with a graft, because that does
not prevent the original build from being performed, and if that
original build consistently fails after a certain date, I don't see a
straightforward way to work around that.
While repopulating hydra's store after the failure of its RAID array,
I resorted to temporarily setting the system clock back on the mips64el
build machine to repeat that build.
It might be worth investigating the possibility of setting the system
clock to a deterministic value within build containers.
