Hmm.  The only prior report I've seen of that error message was from
someone whose system clock was several decades off (there's a
not-very-well-considered test of the timestamp range included in that
check in 7.1.* :-().

If that's not it, please compile up the contrib/pg_controldata utility
and see what it prints out.
