CMOS, daylight saving time and dual-boot

Hi!
I have dual-boot machine with 7.0-BETA1 and Windows
that keeps CMOS time local (there is /etc/wall_cmos_clock also).
It was tuned off yesterday evening and turned back on today,
loading FreeBSD. Meantime the switch from Summer Time to Standard Time
has ocurred. There is 'ntpd_enable="YES"' in /etc/rc.conf.
Nothing in a system reacted on the end of Summer Time period,
so ntpd just complained about 3600 seconds exceeded sanity limit
and bailed out (documented behavour).
There is Status Register B at the offset 0x0b in the ISA Compatible CMOS,
its least significant bit should keep Daylight Saving flag (on/off).
Is it used in modern hardware? Does FreeBSD use it? It is supposed to use it?
