This looks like a reception problem.  You must be pretty far out in
the reception area of DCF77 (just like me), and will probably find
that whenever a sunrise or sunset is in the area reception sux.

Try to see if it does better in daylight...

I don't know the state of the DCF77/parse stuff in v4 at all, I 
have not tried to use it, I'm relying on my GPS for now.
