For non bpf ingress, hmmm.... yeah, not sure if it is indeed an issue :/
may be save the tx tstamp first and then temporarily restamp with __net_timestamp()

Martin, have you looked at time namespaces (CLONE_NEWTIME) ?

Perhaps we need to have more than one bit to describe time bases.

My noob understanding is it only affects the time returning
to the user in the syscall.  Could you explain how that
may affect the time in skb->tstamp?
