Minecraft does backwards time-travel after decreasing render distance

I found this bug in a Ibxtoycat stream: Outside was already dark, but when he turned down the render distance the time changed from late sunset back to late afternoon. Time moved normally after this, and increasing render distance does not change the daylight cycle. The world used doesn't allow cheats.
