pg_stat_activity.query_start in the future?

I'm buried and not having any good ideas how to diagnose this or what else to
send, so here it is.  Feel free to tell me why I'm the one whose confused..

postgres=# SELECT pid, now(), query_start, state, query FROM pg_stat_activity WHERE pid=27757;
  pid  |              now              |          query_start          | state  |                            query
