Do you have old log files?  Can you find a case with the old setup where your 
ntpd reloaded the updated certificate and key?

The recent change was added so the initial load of cert+key would be post 
drop-root so the owner for the initial load would be the same as a reload.  
The idea was that ntpd would crash at startup if it wouldn't be able to read a 
new cert+key.  (That assumes the new cert+key will have the same owner/mode as 
the current files.)
