To my eye, the 38m under when is suspicious.

I've seen similar problems.  In my case, the whole when column was crazy.

Here is what I think is going on...

The when column is showing the difference between the last time a response 
arrived and "now".  I think it is using ntpq's now rather than the server's 
now.

Things may get more complicated if/when the server does a time step.  But I 
think a step resets all that stuff.
