Yes, that was exactly the problem:
nxprtc0: <NXP PCF8563 RTC> at addr 0xa2 on iicbus0
nxprtc0: WARNING: RTC battery failed; time is invalid
nxprtc0: registered as a time-of-day clock, resolution 0.015625s
And, after putting it into loader.conf to be active on kernel start:
Setting date via ntp.
4 Feb 11:34:31 ntpdate[727]: step time server 94.130.184.193 offset -0.120565 sec
Excellent, it kept time during reboot.
But not after power loss.
Mmmm.
Have to check if the battery is good.
