Exotic things like clock drift and such can be a cause of it, but the FAQ answer doesn't what's really explain the root problem - namely that installworld is trying to do something that it shouldn't be doing (running something that requires touch) because something is "out of date" that should not be (osreldate.h in the OP's example). Maybe a docs person can word that better than I can and fix up that classic FAQ entry.
