This bug has been fixed in bug no 4500388 and one requires 
a PRODUCT FLAG to use the fix.

This flag and fix are available in
1.3.1_4, 1.4.0_2, 1.4.1 and 1.4.2.

For the plugin to pickup the fix :

In your Java Plug-in Control Panel 
in the section 'Java Runtime Parameters' just enter the following flag

-XX:+ForceTimeHighResolution

Apply the changes and run the testcase.
I do not see the clock incrementing as it did earlier.
