If I understood the article correctly, this misfeature is for the rare case in which the server reboots after a power loss and the real-time-clock battery on the motherboard is dead, which can happen long after the initial setup of the server.

This is a hardware failure. The server should report to the domain controller a malfunction (by assuming it's certificate is valid) and then give up.
